A week before <em>Times Square</em> opened, this teaser ad ran in the October 10, 1980 issue of BAM (Bay Area Music) magazine, taking up all of page 10. There isn&#8217;t really much else to say about it, other than that it&#8217;s more proof of the confidence the studio had in the movie&#8217;s success.</p>

<p><em>Kinema Junpo</em> (<em>Kinejun</em>, <em>Motion Picture Times</em>) devoted three pages to a promotional <em>Times Square</em> article in its June 15, 1981 issue, for the film&#8217;s Japanese opening on June 21. The text would appear to be the usual brief synopsis, with a list of some of the cast and crew. The small inset on page 203 is, I think, an ad with showtimes, though it might be a brief review. Please, as I&#8217;ve said before, I don&#8217;t speak or read Japanese, and dammit neither does Google Translate, so if anyone wants to contribute a translation, I&#8217;ll be here.</p>
<p>The photos used are all also found in the <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/times-square-program-book-japan-june-1981-post-1-of-5/">Japanese souvenir program book</a>.</p>

<p>The back cover is a reproduction of the <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/times-square-promotional-flyer-japan-1981/">first chirashi</a>, with the announcement of one show on 6/20. I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s a special premiere or if I&#8217;ve had the opening date wrong this whole time.</p>

<p>Whetted your appetite? Then get hold of a copy now — it’s on the. RSO label.</p>

<p>Two months before <em>Times Square</em> opened in Spain, the film magazine <em>Fotogramas</em> ran the same kind of promotional article we&#8217;ve seen in <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/sonido-la-revista-musical-no-56-june-1981/">Mexico</a>, <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/filmstar-vol-1-no-3-thailand-august-1981/">Thailand</a>, and <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/bravo_no_21_germany_may_19_1982/">Germany</a>. The article contains nothing new, but four of the six stills from the film never appeared anywhere else as far as I know, including an almost unrecognizable close-up of Robin. It&#8217;s a shame they weren&#8217;t printed better.</p>

<blockquote><p>TIMES SQUARE</p>
<p>THE MUSICAL OF THE &#8220;TEENAGERS&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Times Square&#8221; is the heart of Manhattan, the island where part of the fantastic New York City sits. It is also the name of the latest musical produced by Robert Stigwood, in whose professional curriculum are theatrical titles such as &#8220;Hair&#8221;, &#8220;Jesus Christ Superstar&#8221;, &#8220;Pippin&#8221;, &#8220;Oh! Calcutta!&#8221;, &#8220;Evita&#8221; and &#8220;Sweeney Todd&#8221;, and movies such as &#8220;Jesus Christ Superstar&#8221;, &#8220;Tommy&#8221;, &#8220;Saturday Night Fever&#8221;, &#8220;Grease&#8221; and &#8220;Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band&#8221;. A guarantee when presenting this latest musical &#8220;Times Square&#8221;.</p>
<p>The story of the film can be reduced to a few lines: Nicky Marotta (Robín Johnson) and Pamela Pearl (Trini Alvarado) are two rebellious teenagers, the first a product of the street and the second from an influential family. Together they escape from their rooms in a psychiatric hospital, steal an ambulance and begin a series of wild adventures in the heart of New York. These are echoed in the information that through the entire night is given by the disc jockey Johnny Laguardia (Tim Curry), who through the airwaves is cheering them on, turning them into little celebrities overnight. Their escape has a dramatic conclusion on the marquee of a cinema in Times Square, while from the street hundreds of their followers pay them, now identified, their tribute.</p>
<p>In these times when the &#8220;soundtracks&#8221; of movies are among the most popular albums on the market, the double album of &#8220;Times Square&#8221; stands out as an anthology of songs interpreted by some of the best artists of current rock: Suzi Quatro, The Pretenders, Roxy Music, Gary Numan, The Talking Heads, Joe Jackson, Patti Smith, Lou Reed, The Ramones, Robin Gibb, and so on.</p>
<p>The cast also includes Trini Alvarado and Tim Curry. The first, one of the young talents to take into account of American cinema, debuted in &#8220;Rich Kids, a film produced by Robert Altman, directed by Robert M. Young, the author of &#8220;Short Eyes&#8221; and &#8220;Alambrista&#8221;. Unfortunately and despite the interest of his work, no one has yet agreed to distribute this full-length film of youth in our country. Returning to Trini, the girl is of Puerto Rican origin, although with a Spanish father. Professionally she started with her parents, he a guitarist and she a dancer, in a flamenco troupe before breaking out as an actress in the play &#8220;Runaways&#8221;.</p>
<p>Tim Curry is better known to us. From his brief filmography we have at least &#8220;The Rocky Horror Picture Show&#8221;, where he played the protagonist, the crazy transvestite &#8220;doctor&#8221;.</p>
<p>Robín Johnson, 16, the female co-star with Trini Alvarado, is a totally new face who debuts in this film by Alan Moyle. She was discovered by a scout from the Stigwood production company on the steps of Brooklyn Technological High School. Until then, the idea of working in films had never crossed her mind.</p></blockquote>

<em>Times Square</em> opened in Thailand in August 1981, but here&#8217;s a Thai magazine celebrating Robin in September.

Text: Jetzt im Kino: TIMES SQUARE IHR KONNT UNS ALLE MAL Ein irrer Film mit heißer Musik über die ausgeflipptesten Teenager von New York Die 16jährige Nicky Marotta (Robin Johnson) und die 13jährige Pamela Pearl (Trini Alvarado) liegen zusammen im Zimmer eines New Yorker Krankenhauses. Beide sollen auf ihren Geisteszustand untersucht werden. Nicky, weil sie eine notorische Streunerin ist; Pamela, weil ihr Vater, ein ehrgeiziger Politiker, mit ihr nicht mehr klarkommt. Eines Tages überredet Nicky Pamela zur Flucht. Im Nachthemd entwischen sie aus dem Krankenhaus, schnappen sich einen Krankenwagen und brausen los. In einem alten Schuppen am Times Square, einem der berühmtesten und berüchtigtsten Plätze New Yorks, finden sie Unterschlupf. So beginnt der Film „Times Square“ (in Deutschland hat er noch den Untertitel „Ihr könnt uns alle mal“). Die beiden Mädchen finden ihr „freies“ Leben herrlich. Sie tragen die ausgefallensten Klamotten, hören pausenlos heiße Musik und jobben abends in einer Kneipe. Nicky, die gut Gitarre spielt, singt mit einer Band,| Pamela arbeitet als Go-go-Girl. Natürlich hat Pamelas Vater alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, um seine Tochter zu finden. In den Fall hat sich auch der beliebte Discjockey Johnny LaGuardian (Tim Curry, der Dr. Frank N. Furter aus der „Rocky Horror Picture Show“) eingeschaltet. Er ist so eine Art Thomas Gottschalk. Ihm vertrauen die Teens, wenn er täglich am Mikrofon zu ihnen spricht. Johnny findet die beiden und verspricht, ihnen zu helfen. So dürfen die Mädchen ein von Nicky komponiertes Lied über den Sender singen. Die jugendlichen Hörer sind begeistert. Johnny erzählt ihnen die Geschichte der beiden Ausreißerinnen. Nicky und Pamela werden auf ihre Art zu „Heldinnen“. Einer der Höhepunkte des Films ist die Aufforderung von Nicky und Pamela, dem Götzen „Fernsehen“ abzuschwören. Und Hunderte machen mit: Zum Entsetzen der Eltern werfen die Teenager die Fernseh-Apparate einfach auf die Straße. Doch die beiden Mädchen sehen bald ein, daß ihr Leben so nicht mehr weiterlaufen kann. Und wieder erweist sich der Discjockey Johnny als Retter. Er organisiert für Nicky ein Konzert auf dem Dach eines Kinos. Aus allen Richtungen New Yorks strömen die Kids in gleicher Aufmachung wie Nicky und Pamela zum Times Square. Das Konzert, obwohl von der Polizei nicht genehmigt, wird ein Riesenerfolg. Nicky ist ihrem Traum, ein Rock- Star zu werden, nähergekommen. Pamela kehrt zu ihrem Vater, der eingesehen hat, daß auch er viele Fehler gemacht hat, zurück. Die beiden Hauptdarstellerinnen sind Neulinge. Nicky (Robin Johnson) wurde von der Schule weg engagiert, Pamela (Trini Alvarado) drehte bereits einen Film. Toll natürlich Tim Curry.

<blockquote>
<p>In theaters now: TIMES SQUARE<br />YOU CAN ALL (KISS OUR ASSES)</p>
<p>A crazy film with hot <br />music about the freaky <br />teenagers of New York</p>
<p>16-year-old Nicky Marotta (Robin Johnson) and 13-year-old Pamela Pearl (Trini Alvarado) lie together in the room of a New York hospital. Both to have their mental health examined. Nicky because she is a notorious stray; Pamela because her father, an ambitious politician, can&#8217;t handle her any more.</p>
<p>One day Nicky persuades Pamela to escape. In their nightgowns they escape from the hospital, steal themselves an ambulance and zoom off. In an old shack in Times Square, one of the most famous and most notorious places in New York, they find shelter.</p>
<p>So begins the film &#8220;Times Square&#8221; (in Germany it also has the subtitle &#8220;You can all [&#8230;] our [&#8230;]&#8221;). Both girls find their &#8220;free&#8221; life wonderful. They wear outrageous clothes, listen to hot music nonstop and in the evening work in a bar. Nicky, who plays guitar well, sings with a band; Pamela works as a go-go girl.</p>
<p>Naturally Pamela&#8217;s father has pulled out all the stops to find his daughter. On this case the popular disc jockey Johnny LaGuardian (Tim Curry, Dr. Frank N. Furter from &#8220;The Rocky Horror Picture Show&#8221;) is also involved. He is a Thomas Gottschalk type. The teens trust him when he speaks daily through the microphone to them.</p>
<p>Johnny finds them both and promises to help them. So the girls sing a song composed by Nicky over the radio. The young listeners are inspired. Johnny tells them the story of the runaways.</p>
<p>Nicky and Pamela become in their own way &#8220;heroines.&#8221; One of the highlights of the film is the call of Nicky and Pamela to renounce the idol &#8220;television.&#8221; And hundreds join in: to the horror of their parents the teenagers simply throw their television sets to the street. But both girls soon see that their life cannot continue this way. And again Johnny the disc jockey comes to the rescue. He organizes a concert on the roof of a cinema for Nicky.</p>
<p>The Kids stream from all areas of New York to Times Square in outfits identical to Nicky and Pamela. The concert, although not authorized by the police, becomes a huge success. Nicky has come closer to her dream to become a rock star.</p>
<p>Pamela returns to her father who has realized that he also has made many mistakes.</p>
<p>Both leading actresses are newcomers. Nicky (Robin Johnson) was hired away from her school, Pamela (Trini Alvarado) previously made a film. Of course Tim Curry is terrific. The music is by, among others, Suzi Quatro, Pretenders, Roxy Music, Gary Numan, XTC, Ramones and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees.</p>

<p>I think that last caption might be better translated as &#8220;they are well known to the locals,&#8221; but I had a hard enough time rendering the German subtitle into colloquial and printable English.  </p>

<p>According to the October 1981 issue of <em>Great TV Entertainment</em>, the official schedule for Showtime and The Movie Channel, <em>Times Square</em> was shown six times on The Movie Channel, on October 25, 27, and 31. I could have sworn it was shown many times more than that; the showings must have continued into November, or perhaps it was also shown on HBO like everybody, including me, remembers.</p>

<p><em>Times Square</em> got a photo and a little blurb, which was more than <em>Let It Be</em> got. Maybe that&#8217;s why <em>Let It Be</em> is one of the few movies that&#8217;s now harder to see than <em>Times Square</em>. (&#8230; Nah.)</p>
<p>The photo, typically, isn&#8217;t a frame from the movie. It&#8217;s a publicity still shot on set that is making its first appearance in this magazine. The AFD/EMI/RSO promotion people had been sitting on this gem for a year. No wonder the movie flopped.</p>

<p>I would think that by October of 1981, a year after its initial release in New York, and two or three months after its Thai release, <em>Times Square</em> would have long since closed in Thailand and become a distant memory. But that didn&#8217;t stop <em>Filmstar</em> magazine from running an article promoting Robin herself, very much like the interviews with Robin published during her publicity tour nine months previous.</p>

Text (translated from Thai): Do you still remember Nicky, a quick witted rebelliously likable young girl from Times Square? If you are also someone who fell in love with that Nicky, here is a tiny reminiscence that she is happy to share. Even though it is not going to be as exciting as in the film, I bet you wouldn’t mind learning from her. Nicky is Robin Johnson, 17 year old teenager from Brooklyn. Her accent is clearly a unique and gravelly Brooklynese when she speaks. When we met her, Robin Johnson’s hair was still chopped in a shaggy cut. “It would be too expensive to go to a beauty shop and have it stripped out.” she says, “And it would take hours. I’ll just wait till it grows back in the real way.” Robin still remembers the role of Nicky so well even though a year has passed by. She and Trini Alvarado are friends on and off screen. Trini wants to be a song-writer. Robin, a rock singer — finally, she does give a street concert in Times Square. “I love rock.” Robin says. “Van Halen. Led Zeppelin. Music makes you feel good — and sometimes sad. I remember the song called Damn Dog so well. It’s not punk. I hate punk music, the real punk that comes from England—The Clash. Sex Pistols. They’re maniacs: they want to die. I don’t mind New Wave so much. It has the same kind of roots, but it’s mellower.” Robin starts to giggle when she thinks about one scene in the movie. “I’m really very wild-looking”. “I wear a mask like the Lone Ranger and a blue turtleneck sweater with blue glitter tights and a plastic-garbage- bag belt! Acting in the film was the first job Robin ever had. “That matures you. learning how to work and deal with people. Being street-smart helps in making a movie. There are certain rules you pick up— when to keep your mouth shut, when to do certain things. It’s like being in a different neighborhood — some people might give you" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/rjnet-wordpress/2018/07/Filmstar_v1_n6_19811001_p-41_1080px-217x300.jpg 217w, https://storage.googleapis.com/rjnet-wordpress/2018/07/Filmstar_v1_n6_19811001_p-41_1080px-741x1024.jpg 741w, https://storage.googleapis.com/rjnet-wordpress/2018/07/Filmstar_v1_n6_19811001_p-41_1080px-768x1061.jpg 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/rjnet-wordpress/2018/07/Filmstar_v1_n6_19811001_p-41_1080px.jpg 782w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px" data-image-size="medium" data-stateless-media-bucket="rjnet-wordpress" data-stateless-media-name="2018/07/Filmstar_v1_n6_19811001_p-41_1080px.jpg" /></a>

One woman really gave me a fit — she was such a big complainer. she must have gotten a B.A. in complaining! After a while. I just avoided her except when I absolutely had to work with her. ‘What am I going to get upset for?’ I asked myself. ‘I’m the one you see on the screen.&#039;” Robin goes to Brooklyn Tech high school. “I never get along with my teachers,” she says. “I’m rebellious.

<blockquote><p>ROBIN JOHNSON<br />
A quick-witted likeable young lady</p>
<p>Do you still remember Nicky, a quick witted rebelliously likable young girl from Times Square? If you are also someone who fell in love with that Nicky, here is a tiny reminiscence that she is happy to share. Even though it is not going to be as exciting as in the film, I bet you wouldn’t mind learning from her. </p>
<p>Nicky is Robin Johnson, 17 year old teenager from Brooklyn. Her accent is clearly a unique and gravelly Brooklynese when she speaks. When we met her, Robin Johnson’s hair was still chopped in a shaggy cut. “It would be too expensive to go to a beauty shop and have it stripped out.” she says, “And it would take hours. I’ll just wait till it grows back in the real way.”</p>
<p>Robin still remembers the role of Nicky so well even though a year has passed by. She and Trini Alvarado are friends on and off screen. Trini wants to be a song-writer. Robin, a rock singer — finally, she does give a street concert in Times Square.</p>
<p>“I love rock.” Robin says. “Van Halen. Led Zeppelin. Music makes you feel good — and sometimes sad. I remember the song called Damn Dog so well. It’s not punk. I hate punk music, the real punk that comes from England—The Clash. Sex Pistols. They’re maniacs: they want to die. I don’t mind New Wave so much. It has the same kind of roots, but it’s mellower.” </p>
<p>Robin starts to giggle when she thinks about one scene in the movie. “I’m really very wild-looking. I wear a mask like the Lone Ranger and a blue turtleneck sweater with blue glitter tights and a plastic-garbage-bag belt!&#8221;</p>
<p>Acting in the film was the first job Robin ever had. “That matures you. learning how to work and deal with people. Being street-smart helps in making a movie. There are certain rules you pick up— when to keep your mouth shut, when to do certain things. It’s like being in a different neighborhood — some people might give you a hassle, but if they do. you should keep your mouth shut, even if you get mad, and just walk the other way and get out of there. I learned responsibility. You become more considerate. I liked everybody I worked with except two out of a hundred. One woman really gave me a fit — she was such a big complainer. she must have gotten a B.A. in complaining! After a while. I just avoided her except when I absolutely had to work with her. ‘What am I going to get upset for?’ I asked myself. ‘I’m the one you see on the screen.&#8217;”</p>
<p>Robin goes to Brooklyn Tech high school. “I never get along with my teachers,” she says. “I’m rebellious. I don’t like people in authority.&#8221; </p>
<p>Robin remembered a casting scout, who arranged for Robin to go to an audition in Manhattan. That audition feels like it wrecks her brains. Back then, in her head she thought “I just wanted to go home to sleep but my friend Cindi was with me, and she says. ‘No. no. no. you’ve got to go. “I had to fill out a sheet with height, weight, eye color, hair color—stuff like that. Then, they’re putting me on tape, inside the studio room I was sitting there like a dummy and read the script. I don’t know why they have chosen me but I got a part in Times Square.” </p>
<p>&#8220;It’s a nice feeling to be picked out of so many.” Robin says. “People call me a natural talent, but what I say to that is that the character I play is very close to me so that my actions are natural. It’s easy to play someone like yourself.”</p>
<p>Around her neck, she wears a couple of gold chains. One has her birth sign. Gemini, dangling from it; the other, a tiny round gold circle, contains a diamond chip. “Trini and I were given diamonds by the crew at a party when the movie was finished,” Robin explains, her eyes wide. “When I saw the Tiffany bag it came in. I said. ‘My God!’ I put it on, and I haven’t taken it off since.”

<p>I managed to have this article translated professionally by Joy Busai (whose website, www.thaienglishhq.com, unfortunately seems to be down at the moment), and she noticed that it seemed itself to be an almost word-for-word translation into Thai of Robin&#8217;s interview in <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/seventeen-magazine-vol-39-no-10-october-1980/"><em>Seventeen Magazine</em></a> from October 1980. While it got me a discount on the translation, it was something of a disappointment to find that one of the last contemporary <em>Times Square</em> articles contained absolutely nothing new.</p>

<p>By August 1981, Robin might already have figured out that neither she nor Andy Gibb were going to get a call telling them when to report to the <em>Grease 2</em> set. Most of the world had already forgotten about <em>Times Square</em>. But it wasn&#8217;t quite over yet. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thailand&#8217;s <em>Filmstar</em> magazine devoted four pages and the back cover to the upcoming release of <em>Times Square</em>. I tried and failed to get a professional translation of the article. Google Translate makes nearly as bad a hash of Thai as it does Japanese, but from what I can make out, this is a purely promotional article summarizing the plot, like the articles in <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/sonido-la-revista-musical-no-56-june-1981/"><em>Sonido</em> No. 56</a> and <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/film-review-vol-31-no-2-february-1981/"><em>Film Review</em> Vol. 31 No. 2</a>.</p>

<p>The caption and drawing on page 63, the first page of the article, are from the <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/times-square-u-k-movie-poster/">European movie poster</a>, and the photo of Pammy and Nicky is <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/TIMES-SQUARE-Press-Kit0064_TS-72-8A-14_1080px.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-5" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title="">TS-72-8A/14</a>, the most-used photo of the girls together.</p>
<p>The image from the poster also appears on page 64, above <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/4-TIMES-SQUARE-UK-Press-Kit-photo_4_1080px.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-6" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title="">UK Press Kit photo #4 of Tim Curry</a>. The large photo of Robin, as far as I know, made its first appearance here. As she&#8217;s looking directly into the camera, I suspect it was taken at the same time as <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/TS_Behind_the_Scenes-68-24A_1080px.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-7" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title="">this pre-take shot</a>, but since the background is cut out there&#8217;s just as good a chance it was taken at <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Press-Book-Japan-1981_21_1080px.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-8" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title="">Pier 56</a>.</p>
<p>The large image of Trini on page 65 looks to be from the same origin as that photo of Robin. Based on what I can make out of the lighting, I tend to think it&#8217;s from the outside location. It&#8217;s the only photo I&#8217;ve seen of Trini in that costume where she isn&#8217;t holding the boom box.  The inset of the cops pushing Nicky into the back seat is another previously, and as far as I know, otherwise unpublished publicity still. The only matching shots in the film are from the opposite side of the car, and the film camera&#8217;s setup from this reverse angle is several feet to the left.</p>
<p>The shot of Robin as Nicky as Aggie Doone singing &#8220;Damn Dog&#8221; in the Cleo Club is yet <em>another</em> photo making its first appearance. But not its last&#8230; there&#8217;s a slightly better version yet to come.</p>
<p>So, amazingly, the <em>Times Square</em> publicity campaign was nearing its end, yet the places it was being published were being furnished with new material, despite it being highly unlikely that the local audiences would have seen any of the already-used photos. Unless, perhaps, the EMI/AFD publicity departments had decided that what they&#8217;d been doing was failing, and if they could only find the <em>right</em> photos, they could turn <em>Times Square</em> into a hit in the next country&#8230;</p>
<p>The back cover of <em>Filmstar</em> was a reproduction of the <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Screen_International_No_246_1980-06-21_pp12-13_1080px.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-9" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title="">collage</a> first published in <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/screen-international-no-246-june-21-28-1980/"><em>Screen International</em> No. 246</a> in June 1980 and used in February 1981 as the <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Times_Square-Australian-Daybill-1981_1080px.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-10" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title="">Australian movie poster</a>, with the addition of Robin&#8217;s name in English. If there&#8217;s one thing all the local contemporary film publicity outlets agreed on, it&#8217;s that Robin herself was the most marketable aspect of the movie.<br />
