“… a culture of ‘Rag-Dolls’…” 1981 Press Kit, Denmark
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThis 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 Square surprisingly abandoned the Cummins…

Times Square Press Synopsis and Credits
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThis was sold as a “Press Kit,” but it’s just the one sheet of A4-size paper with a very complete synopsis of the film on one side and the full cast and credits on the other. It was definitely used for publicity purposes in the UK, but the logo on it is the one that…

“6”
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail This, I believe, is one of the photos missing from my copy of the UK Press Kit. The photo caption sheet in the press kit lists photos 6, 7, and 8 as pictures of Robin all with the same caption, and my copy only has a 7 and 8. This photo has a…

Times Square UK Press Kit (post 4 of 4)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailHere are the last photos from my copy of the UK Press Kit. They don’t have numbers that would match them up with the enclosed caption sheet, so I have doubts as to whether they were actually a part of it. This is the Mick Rock photo of Robin that appeared on the contents…

Times Square UK Press Kit (post 3 of 4)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailFirst, some pictures. UK Press Kit photo #5 is another headshot of Tim Curry, this time as Johnny appears at the end of the film as he’s watching the concert though his telescope on the deck outside WJAD. The most interesting thing about this photo is, at first glance it looks like TS-79-28/8…

Times Square UK Press Kit (post 2 of 4)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThe UK press kit contains a photo caption sheet indicating that there should be 11 photos, and indeed there are, but they don’t match up with the captions. This is the main reason I don’t think my copy of the press kit is complete. On the other hand, it means there are a few photos…

Times Square UK Press Kit (post 1 of 4)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail The UK Press Kit is an even nicer package than its US counterpart, with its own logo featuring Nicky atop the theater marquee. Inside the big white folder is a smaller silver folder that holds the materials. (The reflective silver didn’t scan very well, I did what I could.) It almost certainly…

Times Square Press Material folder (post 5 of 5)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail The last photos from the press kit. To the left, Pammy and Nicky on the roof from which they toss their first television set, although here Nicky appears to be translating a radio broadcast for Pammy. Nothing like this occurs in the film; this photo, however, will be turned into a line drawing…

Times Square Press Material folder (post 4 of 5)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail 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 stuff. Until just now,…

Times Square Press Material folder (post 2 of 5)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail“Times Square… introduces Robin Johnson, dynamic 16-year-old Brooklyn actress and singer in her film debut.” Okay, forget what I said last time about posting the pictures in the order they occur in the film. There are too many without Robin in them to do it in a way that I find aesthetically pleasing without posting…
