The Dam Buster – World Premiere

The world premiere of ‘The Dam Busters’: an Associated British picture, was held at The Empire Theatre, Leicester Square… Monday, May 16th 1955

BELOW – Richard Todd signs autographs for quite a lot of young fans during the filming of ‘The Dam Busters’ – this could have been at Waddington Lincolnshire – not sure on that.

Interesting to see on a film of the occasion, Princess Margaret attended and introducing some of the RAF personnel was Lord Tedder accompanied by his wife Lady Tedder.

She seems to have been a great film fan – a few years earlier she had visited Denham Studios to see filming of ‘Treasure Island’ and is seen here enjoying a drink with Robert Newton =- in costume in his memorable role as Long John Silver – and Walt Disney himself.
