Cinema
Sir,—-A check on classificacations for Saturday film mat inees in the city this Weekend, shows the following: Y, 2; A, 1; G, 2; S, 1; under 18 not admitted, 1; under 13 not admitted, 1; under 16 not admitted, 1 (double feature). At nine cinemas only three films are really suitable for children, two with “G” certificate and “The Sound of Music” (S) which nearly everyone has seen. NO doubt the “Y” and “A” films will be packed with children, as children form the larger part of Saturday matinee audiences. Surely the cinemas can offer better fare than this? Why so many Saturday matinees unsuitable for young children? Why so many films anyway that are unsuitable for unrestricted audiences? Apart from the moral issue, more good films suitable for everyone and with a wide general appeal would help the cinema compete with television. “The Sound of Music” is proof of this.— Yours, etc., FILM FAN. July 22, 1966.
