Premiere of "Flash Gordon", in a Los Angeles newspaper...



Item # 714513

December 05, 1980

CALENDAR SECTION only of the Los Angeles Times, December 5, 1980

* Best "Flash Gordon" advertisement
* Grand Opening Day movie premiere
* Science fiction action cult classic film


A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture cult classic hit "Flash Gordon" 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).

Page 3 of this section has a nice, full page poster-like advertisement for the film printed on it's opening day. (see images). Also other nice movie advertisements including "Empire Strike Back" as well.
Complete Calendar section only with 18 pages, nice condition.
