On the morning of Tuesday 10th March, the smallest cinema in the North of England is screening the 1970 film ‘Ryan’s Daughter’. The cinema at Armley Mills Leeds Industrial Museum has vintage fittings rescued from the old Palace Picture House in Armley, which closed its doors back in 1964 and boasts positively roomy capacity of 24 seats! The film, set between August 1917 and January 1918 in the wake of the 1916 Easter Rising, tells the story of a married Irish woman who has an affair with a British officer during World War I, despite moral and political opposition from her nationalist neighbours. The supporting cast features Robert Mitchum, Trevor Howard, Christopher Jones, and Sarah Miles.
