It reminded me of a Baghdad cinema that I visited shortly after the fall of Saddam Hussein. It had faded posters in the lobby of Top Gun with Tom Cruise.
I was compiling a report about entertainment in the new Iraq. I slipped into the auditorium to collect some sound effects for the radio report.
It was not Top Gun. The music was climaxing. So were the naked men and women on the screen.
"Did you show films like this when Saddam was in power?" I asked.
"No, never," he replied.
