LOS ANGELES TIMES, July 10, 1981
* Best "Escape from New York" film advertisement
* Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) - John Carpenter - dystopian science-fiction action cult classic film
* Disney's, "The Fox and the Hound"
* Grand Opening Day movie premiere ad & review of each
A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture cult classic hit "Escape from New York" & Disney's, "The Fox and the Hound," 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 VI has a review of the film headed: "'NEW YORK': CYNICISM WITH STYLE" with a related photo. (see) And perhaps more significant is the terrific, full page poster-like advertisement for the film printed on it's opening day. (see). Also on the front page of this same section is: "'FOX, HOUND' CUTS NO CORNERS," with a full-page advertisement as well.
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. Great condition.
