I can't remember, it was many years ago, I remember that it was sent to a cinema which couldn't run it, and couldn't get another print in time, so they had to cancel a show, which suggests that it may have been mag only, but I'm not sure. the projectionist did show me a roll of film, but I can't even remember what perfs it had. This was when I was still at school, so it would be over thirty years ago.

Hello Peter.
I was the Chief of the ABC Regal Purley, but used to run both the Purley, and Croydon cinemas when the Croydon Chief was away being stage manager on the live shows that some ABCs had at the time. Blackpool being one of these venues. The 70MM was, for some unknown reason, put into the smaller screen 2, and not, as one would expect, the large theatre No1. The only 70MM film I can remember being shown was 'Dr Zhivago', but there might have been others. The last time I was in the cinema was as a patron sometime in the middle 1970s. Can not remember what the film was. In the 60s it used to be used for stage shows, Bert Weeden, the Walker Brothers, and other pop stars of the day. At this time it was the ABC circuit southern England flagship. I never knew that a fourth screen had been added.
By the way, I have not yet received my 16mm spacing.
