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.

The black and white 8 x 10 stills released in England tend to have a lot of things in common, but the attributes are not absolute... Most of them, but not all, are full-bleed, with no borders. Many of them, but not all, have a caption pasted to their backs.…
