Times Square movie poster, Japan, June 1981

26 January, 2018 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

Times Square opened in Japan on June 20, 1981. I don’t know if Robin and her mom made it there on their promotional tour. I do know that the Japanese publicity for the movie relied heavily on it being a hip young American movie, and illustrated that fact in a

Dolly No. 128, June 1981

“I love to sing but whether people like to hear me, is another matter.” Times Square was a distant memory in the US in June 1981, when Dolly No. 128 came out in Australia. Alison Gardner’s interview with Robin covers little new ground, repeating Robin’s discovery on

“… a culture of ‘Rag-Dolls’…” 1981 Press Kit, Denmark

4 January, 2018 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

This was sold to me as a Press Kit, but it looks to me more like the AFD Campaign Pressbook in intent, as it has a list of available promotional materials on the back. Theater owners might have a use for that, the press wouldn’t. The Danish publicity for Times

“Toda la Basca!” … a Times Square – Times Square movie poster, Spain

24 December, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

The IMDb says Times Square opened in Spain on April 30, 1981. (In Barcelona, anyway… apparently Madrid had to wait until the following January 28.) The poster accompanying this release is identical to the UK one-sheet, except that the artist’s signature and the printer’s information have been

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

10 November, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

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

30 October, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

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)

19 October, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

“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
