Film Preview – Bognor Regis Observer – Saturday, 10 October 1953

PAVILION, SELSEY. When "OBJECTIVE BURMA" (Sunday and Monday) was shown to British troops just after the last war, there was a riot. The screen was ripped down, seats were uprooted and cinema staff were lucky to escape with their lives. The British soldiers who had fought in this district thought the Americans were claiming all the credit for the victory in Burma. Now, before the film is shown, there is a preface paying tribute to the British forces and pointing out that this is only the story of a single party of American paratroops who helped Britain in their eff ort to beat a common enemy. The paratroops are led by Errol Flynn. "LES MISERABLES" (Tuesday and Wednesday is a new adaptation of Victor Hugo's famous novel about sacrifice and suffering.
