Description:Members of the Odeon Cinema staff with a rickshaw, dressed as characters from the film 'Soldier of Fortune' Starring Clark Gable, Susan Hayward and Michael Rennie. The film was released in May 1955, so this image may date from 1956 as the advertising board indicates the film is being shown in January. Members of the Odeon Cinema staff went out into Stafford town centre 52 weeks of the year to advertise the films of the week. Here they are seen on a rainy day outside the Guildhall on Market Square.
