This newspaper has the  significant review and advertisement for the movie "The Godfather" The front page of the "Showcase" section has a heading: "'The Godfather and a few stars named Brando, Pacino--and Puzo" with a drawing (print) of Marlon Brando. This pre-opening day review continues on the following page with two related photos. Page 9 of this section has a 7 x 7 inch advertisement for the opening of this iconic movie which premiered 3 days later. (see images) A rather rare issue as there would have been no compelling reason to save this date, lacking any historic headline.
The top of the front page has a small photo of Brandon with heading. (see)
Complete with 100+ pages, light toning, nice condition.
