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.

This 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…
[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="medium" ids="4897,4899"] Schröder-Filmverleih, Times Square's German distributor, put out a handful of black-and-white press photos to promote the movie along with the poster and lobby card set. They aren't printed all that well, appearing to be copies of copies, which is a shame because most of…
"TIMES SQUARE. It’s a movie. It’s a musical. It’s a way of life." The photos on Page 6 of the AFD Campaign Pressbook are a cropped version of TS-104-17A/7, and TS-28-28/7. There, now that's out of the way... Pages 5 and 6 breathlessly present all sorts of fantastic ideas…
