Tajms Skver – Times Square Movie Poster, Yugoslavia, 1981
21 November, 2017Sean0 Comments1 category
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.

Another four "lobby cards", printed together on one poster, having been cut together and reprinted from an earlier series of lobby cards that I didn't have when I found these. Unlike the first one, I think we've seen all these images previously, but, I'll have more to…
