This radio commercial from 1965 promotes four movies showing at Christchurch cinemas owned by the Kerridge Odeon company.

The latest James Bond film Goldfinger is headlining, together with a new release featuring actress Ann-Margaret and the Western, Shenandoah.

Sadly, the landmark Regent Theatre on Cathedral Square, as well as the Odeon, Majestic and Avon cinemas mentioned here, were all destroyed by the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes.

Look at a photo album of New Zealand's historic cinemas.
