I wept uncontrollably. The second film was a Harryhausen (I’m not sure which, but suspect a Sinbad) and I was swept up (of course) into a delirium of joy, monsters and animation. My Aunt could not understand by a boy would cry at something so sentimental but be utterly delighted by such horrors, which confirmed me in my suspicion that adults knew nothing.

We were only related by marriage, thank goodness.
