Talk:Windmill Theatre

Comment

I would enjoy seeing a less chatty, more detatched tone to this article. The film section reads like a series of movie reviews.

• Agreed; the "Film depictions" section is the most egregious, but overall it needs cleanup and citations. 130.184.14.142 00:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Agree with above.

Also: 'The second movie was Murder at the Windmill - a 1949 low-budget exploitation movie which was little more than an excuse to feature the Windmill boys and girls performing intercut with a very weak plot about the murder of a man in the front row.'

Is this really neutral?Dannpm 00:12, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Seedy Soho

This passage in the article seems a bit odd:

London's Soho neighborhood had become a seedier place. The Soho neighborhood of the 1930s and 1940s was a respectable place filled with shops and family restaurants.

I'm thinking maybe it was the Windmill itself which attracted the seedier elements to the area. It was hardly providing family entertainment...Colin4C 09:17, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Postwar years

On 9 June 1974 the Windmill Cinema closed. The cinema's lease was bought in February 1974 by nightclub and erotica entrepreneur, Paul Raymond. Raymond made it a home for nude shows "à la Revuedeville but without the comic element". The first production at the now renamed Windmill Theatre was a play called Lets Get Laid which opened on 2 September 1974.

The dates don't seem sensible to me. Should the closing be June 1973 instead of 1974? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.123.109.130 (talk) 08:38, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Motto

Surely the motto was 'We Never Close', and when it did eventually close, they published a book about it, titled 'We Never Closed'. Valetude (talk) 19:20, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
