Premieres of "Backdraft" & "Thelma & Louise" (ads and reviews); pre-release of Dying Young - Los Angeles newspaper...



Item # 690991

May 24, 1991

LOS ANGELES TIMES, May 24, 1991 (Front and Calendar Sections)

* Backdraft & Thelma & Louise
* Opening day full-age ads and reviews
* Other ads inc. pre-release of Dying Young


This issue includes the opening day, full-page, color advertisements for "Backdraft" and "Thelma & Louise", accompanied by lengthy reviews. A double-page, pre-release ad for "Dying Young" is also present.
Other popular movie advertisements present include: "Catch the Hawk", "Switch", "Madonna - Truth of Dare", "Only The Lonely", "What About Bob", and more.
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).

Includes at least the Front and Calendar Sections, in good condition. Front-page masthead has a red pencil mark.
