Review & premiere of "Grand Torino", in a Los Angeles newspaper...
Item # 712237
December 12, 2008
CALENDAR SECTION only of the Los Angeles Times, Dec. 12, 2008
* Best "Grand Torino" movie advertisement
* Grand Opening Day premiere & review
* American drama film - Clint Eastwood
A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture hit "Grand Torino" 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 this section has a review of the film headed: "Vintage Clint" with photo. Continues inside with another related photo. And perhaps more significant is the terrific, double-full page poster-like advertisement for the film printed on it's opening day. (see).
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content. Complete section E only with all 26 pages, great condition.
