This is indeed a 1962 opening title, at a time when TV virtually eclipsed theatrcial newsreels ["Fox Movietone News" ended in the U.S. the following year, with Universal's newsreel the last weekly theatrical to end in December 1967].

Thank you, I was a projectionist at the ABC cinema in Selly Oak Birmingham in the 60s and it brought back happy memories.
Cinemagoers could rely on Pathe News to deliver Good News
I cant find any record of the Oak Cinema on the web, it was a wonderful Art Deco building but I cant find any photos of the interior, the fabulous light fittings or the projection suite. Other than a 1920s B&W photo its disappeared without a trace but the clip brings it to life again
Thanks agin.

O what wonderful memories. I worked for Pathe Pictorial and my Father was chief Film Editor of Pathe News. It always brings a tear to my eyes when I hear this tune.

Oh my,this takes me back to the early 60s and the beautiful Picturedrome cinema in Bognor Regis. The double feature, Pathe News, Pearl and Dean, trailers and the string of silent coming soon titles played to Bert Kaempfert with colour changes on the screen. Jim Carter (The Chief projectionest) was a master in presentation this led me to become a projectionest starting at the Embassy Tenterden Kent for Shipman and King and the Astoria Purley Surrey. I became chief at the State Theatre in Grays.
Fantastic brings back great memories, never to be forgotten. When you hear and see the famous introduction. The years just roll back.
My greatful and indebted thanks to Redroadshow for sharing this with us.

Glad you enjoyed it, mike, it brought back great memories when I first saw it again, it's something that you have thought you had forgot all together, until the tune starts!
