Premiere of "Airplane", in a Los Angeles newspaper...

Item # 707317 ·
LOS ANGELES TIMES, July 4, 1980

* Best "Airplane" film advertisement
* Grand opening weekend movie premiere
* Satirical parody - Leslie Nielsen
* Great ad for "The Shining" too


A nice issue on the premiere of the motion picture hit "Airplane" 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.
Page 6 of section VI has a nice advertisement for the film on it's opening weekend. (see images). Also included is a large ad for Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Steven King's "The Shining", staring Jack Nicholson - whose premier was two weeks prior.
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 44 pages. Nice condition.
