1973's Charlie Varrick



Scanned from my copy of the Ft. Lauderdale News, Nov. 30, 1973. Below is an ad from the same day. I thought it was funny in looking back that both movies felt it necessary to say they were "in color," but I suppose the industry was still in transition from playing some black and white movies at the time.

If you like dinosaurs in the present day, much as this film presents, you will get a kick out of the ongoing series of posts I'm doing on another blog. Visit the "Dinosaurs Attack" entries, presenting hi-rez scans of the 1988 Topps card set, over at My Monster Memories!

The Green Hornet


Clipped from the Macon Telegraph in 1974, this "movie" was merely several episodes of the 60's TV show, edited together and released theatrically to cash in on the public interest after Lee's death.

Superman: The Movie

(Click to view super-sized.)

Full-page ad scanned in from the Friday, April 6th, 1979 edition of the Miami Herald.

Think about it: a full-page ad for a movie that's been in the theater for 17 weeks? Amazing, and something you may never see again. That movie was HUGE.

Batman Returns


Clipped from a Ft. Lauderdale paper in 1992.
Although I stopped clipping most newspaper ads after I got older (I didn't need to clip them when so much material was available, not like when I was a kid), I still did for some like this. Wish I had kept it up longer!

Scanned from my copy of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published February 21, 1954.

1953's Walking My Baby Back Home


In some states you could get arrested for that.

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, dated Sunday, Dec. 20th, 1953. It looks like they're having w-a-a-a-ay too much fun for a 1950's newspaper!
