Programme in Cantonese or more exactly Chinese (Cantonese essentially a spoken dialect not a written language) but movies were American. It was 1957 the American movie was showing starring

Rock Hudson {洛赫遜}
James Dean {占士甸}
Elizabeth Taylor {伊利沙伯泰萊}

3 shows a day at 2pm, 5.30pm and 9.00pm

It was Thanksgiving that means November.

Next movie coming up was the American Hitchcock movie the wrong man starring Henry Fonda.
