Review & premiere of "The Mummy (1999)", in a Los Angeles newspaper...



Item # 695977

May 07, 1999

LOS ANGELES TIMES, May 7, 1999

* Best "The Mummy (1999)" advertisement
* Grand Opening Day movie premiere review
* American action fantasy film - Brendan Fraser


A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture hit "The Mummy" 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 F has a review of the film headed: "Modern 'Mummy' Has Its Boyish Features" with 2 related photos. And perhaps more significant is the terrific, double full page poster-like advertisement for the film printed on it's opening day. (see). Other nice movie advertisements as well.
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content.
Complete with all sections (130+ pages), great condition.
