poster – Page 2 – Robin Johnson

Times Square promotional flyer, Japan, 1981

The front side of this approximately 7.5 by 10.5 inch sheet reproduces the Japanese movie poster, the only difference being the absence of the credit for EMI at the lower right. The back is breathlessly loaded with more information about the film, the girls, and the soundtrack than

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

“… 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

Tajms Skver – Times Square Movie Poster, Yugoslavia, 1981

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

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

Times Square Australian Daybill

12 July, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

According to IMDb, Times Square opened in Australia on February 6, 1981. Robin and her mother went there to continue RSO/EMI’s publicity tour, and I’m pretty sure she made a brief but strong impression on Australian television discussing her discovery and career-to-come. As this was just before the home
