The Mystery of the Double-Sided Poster, Side Two

28 June, 2015 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

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,

Robin Johnson’s Times Square Headshot, “TS-Spec.3”

10 June, 2015 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

This is one of my favorite pictures of Robin, appearing for the first time not in character. I agree with DefeatedandGifted that it wasn’t part of the US press kit, even though it’s designed identically and even came with a folded-over caption sheet, just like the the photos in

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

“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

Generally referred to as The Press Kit, this is the big-ass promotional package AFD released in North America. Since they didn’t have a table of contents, I can’t be sure what all was in it, not without examining all of them… which is impossible because I’m afraid most of them

Odds and Ends

Before moving on, I mentioned some time ago some pictures I’ve only seen on the Web and not found any physical copies of. So, here they are. Some of them anyway. I’d found a bunch of these at Cineplex, having been digitized by Baseline Research, but as I was assembling

Times Square Press Folder

At least that’s what it was called when I got it. It’s only a folder though in the sense that it’s folded, not that it contained something else like the press kits which have pockets to hold papers and photos. This is just a big piece of heavy glossy stock,

The Last Word

3 March, 2015 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

The May 1980 issue of Photoplay mentioned Times Square’s production in Ken Johns’ Last Word column. The image of Nicky singing “Damn Dog” in the Cleo Club was later published in at least one more magazine after the film’s release, but I haven’t yet seen it anywhere else, or in

This Is Not A Times Square Site

To prove it, I’m taking a moment to jump about five years ahead, to Code Name: Foxfire. This is an 8×10″ black and white publicity still promoting Robin’s short-lived tv series. While there’s not nearly as much Foxfire material around as Times Square, since it was a prime time show

“The Trend Settles in New York”

I confess I don’t quite understand what that title means. Am I missing something clever? This article was published at the end of April 1980, from an interview done when there were two weeks left of principal photography, and is chock full of things to raise an eyebrow at.
