LOS ANGELES TIMES, May 1, 1977 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf), serving as a rare piece of cinematic ephemera, highlighted by an original vintage print advertisement announcing the opening day release of  "NASTY HABITS" starring Glenda Jackson on one of the pages. (see images).

In addition to the featured movie ad, which captures the era's distinct theatrical promotional graphics and classic key art, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment and pop culture. Printed on authentic newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal piece for custom framing, film history display, or inclusion in a dedicated cinema memorabilia collection.

Background: Nasty Habits (1977) holds a unique position in 1970s satirical cinema due to its surreal blending of sacred authority with cutthroat political scandal, famously transposing the events of the Watergate break-in, bugging operations, and subsequent cover-ups into a quiet Philadelphia convent. Featuring a high-caliber ensemble cast that includes Glenda Jackson as a ruthless Richard Nixon surrogate, Sandy Dennis, Geraldine Page, Melina Mercouri, and Eli Wallach, the film stands out for its sharp literary pedigree—being adapted from Muriel Spark's 1974 novella The Abbess of Crewe—and its bold decision to weave actual television news anchors like Howard K. Smith and Jessica Savitch into its narrative to treat convent politics with deadpan journalistic gravity. Despite its star-studded roster and clever geopolitical commentary, the movie remains an obscure rarity today; it received a very limited theatrical release, never achieved widespread commercial popularity, and has largely faded from mainstream broadcast rotation, making physical home video media (such as rare out-of-print VHS tapes and limited-run DVD releases) the primary way film enthusiasts and collectors access this obscure cult artifact.
