TIMES SQUARE movie poster, Yugolslavia, 1981 Text: Rȇžija: ALAN MOYLE TIM CURRY TRINI ALVARADO ROBIN JOHNSON AMERIČKI FILM kolor TAJMS SKVER TIMES SQUARE ZETA FILM ZF BUDVA EMI [Direction: ALAN MOYLE TIM CURRY TRINI ALVARADO ROBIN JOHNSON AMERICAN FILM color TAJMS SKVER TIMES SQUARE ZETA FILM ZF BUDVA EMI]
 
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.

  "No, this won't do."   Monty Smith's review of Times Square is true to form, giving some light praise to Robin's and Trini's performances while tearing the movie itself to shreds. Although he does sometimes go a bit over the top with a particularly English-flavored cooler-than-thou sneering ("a real…

You too might have had perhaps Robin's only solo release, if you were a DJ... in 1981... in Belgium. The mind boggles at the series of meetings that must have occurred to result in the decision that this was a good idea. A 12-inch single of "Damn Dog"... but not…
