Big things happening on the small screen

摘要

In the June 2007 issue of Cinema Technology, Hong Kong-based writer Martyn Green discussed the genesis and continuing legacy of the historical Red Theatre, in the capital of the Republic of China - Taipei. The building that was eventually to house the Red Theatre was built as long ago as 1908, although the heyday of the actual cinema on it's first floor was in the late 1970s and early 80s. It was during that time that several "roadshow" type movies graced the small silver screen inside the Red Theatre. Several of them were mentioned in Martyn Green's original article (June issue pp 53-55), along with the romantic comedy, "Roman Holiday" (with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck).
