This shot of Nicky joining in as Pammy dances at the Cleo Club appears to me to have been taken within seconds of TS-104-17A/7 from the US Press Materials folder, and this color 8×10, the purpose of which I still don’t know. (Its post is here.) Although the presence
Two more UK black and white press photos on a single 8 x 10 print. Like the previous one of these, we have here one familiar picture and one new one. At least I’ve never seen the top photo before, of Nicky waiting for her cue from Johnny
Two UK black and white press photos on a single 8 x 10 print. Who exactly printed these, and why, are mysteries, as I haven’t yet come across any publication that used them, but their country of origin is made clear by the captions announcing Times Square’s release in the

Fully opening the two-sided poster reveals my favorite version of the image most associated with Times Square. As I mentioned last time, I find the red background more visually pleasing than the yellow used on the movie poster and soundtrack album cover. There are several other differences in this version,
On the left is the same photo as this one, cropped differently and of course without the autograph. On the right is the photo that may be the one used the most to promote the film. We’ll have a better idea about that once I’m done with all this
“… in one of those inexplicable chance occasions, out of the blue, Robin Johnson appeared…” Four more stills from the Times Square U.S. press kit. I don’t really have anything to say about these, but when have I let that stop me. It means nothing, but I notice in
