The first cinema in Wales was opened in Cardiff on 14th January 1961 with one screen and 15 seats, showing the Tennessee Williams classic ‘A Streetcar named Desire’. This was deemed to be a massive cultural set back for Wales, as it destroyed all of their newly developed confidence in the radio, which until 1959 was called “the devil box”. Leading Welsh politician Aneurin Bevan declared the new building “an evil, evil man”, causing it to be left abandoned for the following ten years.
