Movie Promotion Sheets

It Came From Hollywood…and the American International Exchange! The Fonda Festival, three great shows, with Bruce Dern, Dianne Ladd, Dennis Hopper, Susan Strasberg, Jane Fonda, and Nancy Sinatra. Oh, and members of the Hell’s Angels of Venice, California. A drive-in wet dream for sure. You’ve got bikers, baddies, and naughty behaviors galore in The Wild Angels, an Edgar Allan Poe movie (sort of) Spirits of the Dead, and Jack Nicholson’s scripting for The Trip, an acid-tripping movie. Spirits of the Dead boasted directors Roger Vadim, Federico Fellini, and Louis Malle, but IMDb notes that Orson Welles and Luis Buñuel were supposed to direct, along with Fellini (wow, what could have been!).

Big Four Feature Unit Shows! from AIP. Gone are the days when people sat in movie theaters for a good part of their day, catching a feature, a newsreel, some cartoons, a second feature, and some popcorn; or at least a double-feature.  The last time I sat for a bunch of movies back to back was when they did a marathon with Planet of the Apes at the Benson theater in Brooklyn. I loaded up on McDonald’s, bought my ticket, laughed, cried, and basically enjoyed the hell out of watching the movies back to back. Of course, my prostate was smaller then, so no problems with missing any of the action.

Here’s a down and dirty ad mats promotion for the five packages, each with four themed movies, courtesy of It Came From Hollywood. Take that, AMC!
