LOS ANGELES TIMES, August 15, 1986

* "Stand by Me" film advertisement
* Grand opening week movie premiere
* Coming-of-age drama film - Rob Reiner


A terrific issue on the 1st week (following Friday) of the motion picture hit "Stand by Me" 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).

Page 7 of section VI has a terrific, full page poster-like advertisement for the film printed on the first week (following Friday" of it's premiere. (see). Other nice movie advertisements as well including opening day of the "The Fly". (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 VI totaling 64 pages. Great condition.
