The George Cinema, Category C listed movie theater in Portobello, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The George Cinema features distinct Art Deco vertical and horizontal lines throughout its auditorium, with stalls and circle seating arrangements for patrons.
The building opened as County Cinema in March 1939 with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, later changing its name to George Cinema in 1954.
The cinema participated in the Edinburgh Film Festival, introducing CinemaScope and four-track magnetic Stereophonic sound technology to enhance film presentations.
