Allan Moyle at work
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Way back in October 2014, I posted a photo of Robin and Trini getting ready to shoot a scene that was later cut from the film, and complained that although the vast majority of Times Square publicity stills don’t actually come from shots of takes used in the film, there was a dearth of…

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…

Times Square Press Material folder (post 1 of 5)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail 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 have been taken apart,…

Times Square Rejected Movie Poster Concept Art
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThis is either the only truly unique item I have, or the most worthless. It’s a 15″ x 22.5″ board, unsigned, gray on the back, and the front being pen and colored ink or watercolor (I don’t know nearly enough about art technique to be able to tell reliably). I’ve been referring to it as…

Times Square Press Folder
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailAt 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, folded over. It’s not really…

“The Trend Settles in New York”
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailI 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. To start with, director Allan…

Times Square Blue
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail This is the last of the… well, what should I call them? The objects that have no publication information printed on them, or aren’t contained in some other package (although some of them turn up again later that way). Although… there’s at least one more image that fits that definition coming, the difference being…

The Concert in Times Square
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailI’m breaking my rule of one picture per post again, but these are so similar to each other it seemed silly to stretch them out over three posts. These are the last of the Kodak 8 x 10’s: three shots of Robin atop the Times Square Theater marquee. In the first one, you can see…

“34”
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailHere we have an 8″x10″ black and white print showing Nicky leaping into the air at the start of the concert in Times Square (as opposed to her leaping into the air at the end of the concert). It has a tiny number “34” printed onto its front. The back bears a stamp reading “TIMES…

Pammy’s Dancing Career Cut Short
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Despite recent appearances, this is a Robin Johnson site, not a Times Square site. But, for better or worse, there’s far more Times Square material out there than for the rest of her career combined. Plus, the vast majority of her fans (though not all) found her through Times Square. So I’ll be posting…
