Iconic: Rex Cinema along Burmah Road as seen during the 1990s in this file photo.

GEORGE TOWN: Going to Rex Cinema in the 1960s was a family event that sent shivers down the spine for B. Premala when she was a child.

Now a retired schoolteacher at 66, she was less than 10 years old when her father would bring her and three other sisters to watch Tamil movies there.
