Review & premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean", in a Los Angeles newspaper...



Item # 646180

July 09, 2003

LOS ANGELES TIMES, July 9, 2003

* Best "Pirates of the Caribbean" film advertisement
* Grand Opening Day movie premiere review
* Fantasy swashbuckler film - Johnny Depp


A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture hit "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" and perhaps no better issue could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry - the Hollywood area's prime publication.

Note: Where else might one find authentic, poster-size ads for Opening Day showings, in the most desirable Hollywood-area newspaper - as we were lucky enough to obtain this (and others) indirectly from the Los Angeles Times' own collection? It simply doesn't get any better! In over 40 years of collecting, we have yet to see such unique & dramatic coverage with truly top-shelf, eye-catching displayability (see images).

The front page of section F has a review of the film headed: "Yo ho, ho-hum, a pirate's life" with photo. And perhaps more significant is the terrific, full page poster-like advertisement for the film printed on it's opening day. (see).
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content. Present are the complete sections 1 and F totaling 40 pages. Great condition.
