“Times Square” – Page 8

The Australian Women’s Weekly, Vol. 48 No. 45, April 15, 1981

The April 15, 1981 Australian Women’s Weekly featured Larry Hagman on the cover, a pin-up poster of Adam and the Ants on the inside back cover, and an interview with Robin on page 119. The interview goes over much the same ground as most of the previous interviews she

photoplay, Vol. 32 No. 4, April 1981

2 December, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

The Paul Wilson Column (“The man you want to read every month…”) in the April 1981 photoplay contained a brief bit of publicity that was typical of the coverage Robin and Times Square was getting by now in Great Britain (where the movie had long since closed) and Australia:

Tajms Skver – Times Square Movie Poster, Yugoslavia, 1981

21 November, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

Budva is in what is now Montenegro, and in 1981 Zeta Film imported Times Square for the Yugoslavian film market. I don’t know when it opened or how well it did, or if it was subtitled in Serbian. All I know about it is that there was this poster, which

Another Italian Times Square Lobby Poster

This is exactly what the post title says: a second lobby poster from Italy. There may be more, but so far I’ve only come across two. The text is exactly the same as the other one and the Italian movie poster. Robin as Nicky is on the left, in a

Times Square Lobby Poster, Italy

A little less than half the size of a standard one-sheet poster, and not quite twice the size of a lobby card, this was apparently designed for display in theater lobbies in Italy. I guess this is what they got in place of lobby cards, which still puts them way

Locandina Times Square (Movie Poster, Italy)

“And for the first time on the screen, Robin Johnson…”… The Italian movie poster features the American logo and the British painting of Nicky, but although it has some of the yellow-orange tint of the Belgian poster, it retains the artist’s signature by her knee and the attention to detail

I Wanna Be Sedated

I made another exception to my vow not to collect any more soundtrack-related items, because this one has a picture of Robin on it. It’s the UK version of the Ramones’ “I Wanna Be Sedated” single as released by RSO as a Times Square soundtrack tie-in. I might have bought

Three photos from March 1981

I know nothing about these photos, except that they date from March 1981, and that they’re owned by Trinity Mirror and are part of the Daily Mirror Mirrorpix archive. In my opinion, they’re similar in style to photos that were published in Australia and presumably taken during her visit there,

Times Square Movie Poster, Belgium

16 September, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

So, after the Belgian publicity, here’s the Belgian movie poster, with text in both Dutch and French. The image is the Cummins painting from the British poster… although the signature is gone, there’s an overall reddish tint to it, and there are lots of tiny differences that certainly make

Joepie, No. 365, March 15, 1981

“Geef mij maar New Wave.” I don’t know when Times Square opened in Belgium and the Netherlands, but the weekly entertainment magazine Joepie (which Google wants to translate for me as “Yay,” but I think is more properly “Whoopie!”), devoted two pages in its March 15, 1981 issue to an
