Odds and Ends
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailBefore moving on, I mentioned some time ago some pictures I’ve only seen on the Web and not found any physical copies of. So, here they are. Some of them anyway. I’d found a bunch of these at Cineplex, having been digitized by Baseline Research, but as I was assembling this post I found that…

Times Square Press Folder
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailAt least that’s what it was called when I got it. It’s only a folder though in the sense that it’s folded, not that it contained something else like the press kits which have pockets to hold papers and photos. This is just a big piece of heavy glossy stock, folded over. It’s not really…

“Times Square isn’t a punk picture”
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Magazines are dated ahead by their publishers to try to keep them on the stands longer than their competitors. The date on a magazine usually refers to when it is supposed to be replaced by the next issue, not when it actually comes out. Anyway, although this issue of Prevue was probably still…

“TIMES SQUARE ‘package’ due shortly”
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Even the culturally barren industrial wasteland of Northeast Ohio was receiving word of the impending great event. I’m kidding, of course; Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown… this area birthed Pere Ubu, the Dead Boys, and Devo, so it seems right that not only did the August 21 1980 Scene make the release of Times Square…

The Last Word
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThe May 1980 issue of Photoplay mentioned Times Square’s production in Ken Johns’ Last Word column. The image of Nicky singing “Damn Dog” in the Cleo Club was later published in at least one more magazine after the film’s release, but I haven’t yet seen it anywhere else, or in color. This was the version…

This Is Not A Times Square Site
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailTo prove it, I’m taking a moment to jump about five years ahead, to Code Name: Foxfire. This is an 8×10″ black and white publicity still promoting Robin’s short-lived tv series. While there’s not nearly as much Foxfire material around as Times Square, since it was a prime time show on a major network there’s…

“The Trend Settles in New York”
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailI confess I don’t quite understand what that title means. Am I missing something clever? This article was published at the end of April 1980, from an interview done when there were two weeks left of principal photography, and is chock full of things to raise an eyebrow at. To start with, director Allan…

Times Square Blue
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail This is the last of the… well, what should I call them? The objects that have no publication information printed on them, or aren’t contained in some other package (although some of them turn up again later that way). Although… there’s at least one more image that fits that definition coming, the difference being…

The Concert in Times Square
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailI’m breaking my rule of one picture per post again, but these are so similar to each other it seemed silly to stretch them out over three posts. These are the last of the Kodak 8 x 10’s: three shots of Robin atop the Times Square Theater marquee. In the first one, you can see…

“34”
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailHere we have an 8″x10″ black and white print showing Nicky leaping into the air at the start of the concert in Times Square (as opposed to her leaping into the air at the end of the concert). It has a tiny number “34” printed onto its front. The back bears a stamp reading “TIMES…
