Another great Newspaper Movie Adss collection, and of one of the supreme masters of the cinema. Those were the good old days where the release of a new film was a ‘cultural event’ and there was no over-saturation of releases. Those were times of the single theatres and movie palaces, a time sadly lost to the ages.
Films use to play for months at one theater. Anticipation use to build; now the films are released in thousands of theaters the first weekend for everyone’s instant gratification. Thanks, my friend.

Thanks as always for keeping the memories alive.
