Cinema King

Description

This book tells the extraordinary story of Sam King and his journey from an impoverished Jewish family to successful cinema entrepreneur, and co-founder of Shipman and King cinemas – some of the finest independent cinemas of the Golden Age in Britain.

‘A wonderfully researched and beautifully illustrated book, both a vivid account of a remarkable man and his family and a rich depiction of a now almost entirely lost world of movie-going splendour’. Colin Vaines, Film producer.
