Ah, the Odeon! I believe it had Liverpool's first press show, at any rate for many years, back in 1969 (for Funny Girl). The manager, my old friend George Cranfield, arranged it and began a Liverpool trend. Other memories: queuing around the block for the first Liverpool showing of A Hard Day's Night; seeing Hitchcock's The Birds in the Odeon when it had a single huge auditorium, and hearing a murmur of apprehension pass through the entire audience when Tippi Hedren turns and sees the school playground.

Strange that this posting appeared immediately but my one about the Britannia chain on the Adelphi thread is stuck in moderation! I suggested folk should look up Britannia hotels on Tripadvisor.
