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.

"Words cannot express the sheer unbelievability of this ..." I'm nowhere near ready to post this. I wanted to have the best possible picture, and a post that had something a little more weighty to say about it... but it's the 40th anniversary of Times Square's general release today,…
