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.

This was definitely a legitimate release. I have my doubts abut Belgium.

The main Yugoslavian poster used the art from the U.K. poster which was used throughout Europe. But Zeta Film also produced at least four more promotional pieces, which I believe to have been made for display in theater lobbies, based on their size and artwork. This poster is smaller…
