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 replicates the UK poster. It’s a reproduction of the Cummins painting, losing a lot of detail and the artist’s signature, but at least it’s not a redrawing of it like the Belgian poster seems to have been. This was definitely a legitimate release. I have my doubts abut Belgium.

My apologies to those scandalized by the cover of Germany's Cinema magazine from June 1982. It might get one banned from Facebook and Tumblr, but the Germans were apparently not so easily embarrassed thirty-six years ago as we are now. But whatever you may think of the cover, the important…

Bande Originale du Film Times Square (soundtrack album, French edition)

I made another exception to my decision not to collect any more copies of the soundtrack when I saw the bright red labels on this French edition. Sadly we don't get all the text in French as well. [gallery columns="2" link="file" size="medium" ids="3682,3681,3683,3680"] It's pretty much identical to the Canadian…

Nicky Marotta, 1980

And this, of course, is the look they settled on for Nicky, ultimately using this photo on nearly all the American publicity materials. As this is the outfit she wears when the girls escape from the hospital, it was likely taken near the end of production, so the shaggy hair…
