The Mighty Civic

Peter Wells
1989 New Zealand 62 minutes English

Old showgirls reminisce : an enchanted usherette leads you on a voyage of discovery into the secrets of Auckland’s Xanadu. Cinema moguls break their hearts : dancing girls tiptoe over champagne-drenched carpets. One minute you’re in Auckland of the 1920’s : the next you’re on an exhilarating rollercoaster ride info the days when American GIs met Kiwi beauties under the twinkling stars of the Civic’s Midnight roof.
