These are great newspaper adverts. If I were around when this film was released, and if I saw those adverts, I’d RUN to the cinema to see this. I’m serious!

I have had a great time looking at all the fabulous ads and newspaper articles regarding Cinemascope! How did you ever find so much — what work that must have been! I’m just really impressed and enjoyed every image…I’m so tickled that you joined in our blogathon and posted this wonderful group of pics!

Thanks, guys. I’ve worked for a newspaper for nearly 20 years now in the composing department and have access to our morgue, with bound copies of the paper dating back to the 1800s. And with my handy digital camera I document what I can and share it with you all.
