For some of my career I have been fortunate to work making films, both in England and in Hollywood.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been in love with the movies since I was 6-years-old.\u00a0 It was \u201cDoctor Dolittle\u201d with Rex Harrison where the love affair began, and of course in the many beautiful old cinemas of Hertfordshire.\u00a0 The Priory in Royston, the Broadway and the Palace in Letchworth, the Regal in Hitchin, the ABC in Stevenage, the Embassy in Welwyn Garden City.\u00a0 It is sad that, of these, only the Broadway still exists; and sad also that many more cinemas are likely not to survive the current closures, and the simultaneous rise of the stay-at-home streamers \u2013 Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Part of the magic of these old cinemas was their giant screens (particularly for a 6-year-old) and their often wonderful buildings.\u00a0 You rarely get that combination today.\u00a0 However\u2026 this month, for one month only, the combination returns!\u00a0 From 8th<\/sup> May, Knebworth House is once again hosting the Luna Cinema Drive In.\u00a0 The schedule \u2013 full of fun family favourites \u2013 is on our website.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Big screen.\u00a0 Beautiful building.\u00a0 And, in the comfort of your car, the seats will I\u2019m sure be more comfortable than the seats used to be at the Regal in Hitchin \u2013 a detail I remember from a memorable three hours in there watching \u201cGone With The Wind\u201d.\u00a0 A re-release.\u00a0 I\u2019m not that old!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
