CLINT EASTWOOD ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER AD BLOCKS

I thought it was about time I pulled my thumb out and started to try and update this site as it seems to be very popular in deed, I'd like to thank the many people who drop by, the amount of hits on this site knocked me for six! I have 1000's of things to add, not only from each film Clint has ever starred or directed, but tons of collectables which really deserve to be seen.

Although far from complete, I thought I would try and at least get many more sections added, and then add items to each of the sections as and when I manage to get them done (as I like to clean and restore each items where possible before I actually show them)

For this section and to start things off once again, I would like to display the first few of many original newspaper or TV guide ads. These are super to view as many of them often contain very different artwork to that used on the original film posters, often thrown away with the original paper or magazine, they have become rather rare over the years. Here at the Archive we strive to preserve such treasures. If you should have any of these that you have collected over the years and would like to share the image please feel free to contact me, but do check first as I have a ton more to add, in the meantime ENJOY!

KTTV (channel 11) is a television station in Los Angeles, California

Below: This ad block is for DIRTY HARRY, even though the image is from MAGNUM FORCE and the tagline inspired from SUDDEN IMPACT.

Below: Not a TV Ad, but a rare cinema Ad for the double bill, Dirty Harry & The Enforcer

Below: A cinema Ad for Thunderbolt & Lightfoot

Below: A very rare Industry Ad for the Academy Awards Consideration Screening for THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES.

Above: A rare block for the US Network TV premiere of EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE. Great alternative artwork.
Below: Clint as Philo finds his problems piling up! Again, a fabulous alternative design for EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE.

Below: This French ad block does it's job without even featuring an image of Eastwood

The above Ad for Tightrope is a rather strange design, as the centre image is a shot from Tightrope.
The hand holding the gun to the left is a publicity shot from Magnum Force
And the picture to the right is actually from In the Line of Fire, a gun has also been added to Clint's hand!









Above: I only have this version in a damaged form (to Clint's face) if anyone has a replacement version, please do contact me, thanks in advance.

CINEMA RETRO'S NEW WHERE EAGLES DARE MAGAZINE SPECIAL

CINEMA RETRO ‘MOVIE CLASSICS’ SPECIAL

Issue #1: Where Eagles Dare

Welcome to an exciting new concept for Cinema Retro: the introduction of special magazines that celebrate specific classic and cult films. We routinely get bombarded with letters and E mails from readers around the world who suggest extensive coverage of their favorite films. The problem is, of course, is that even our Film in Focus sections runs only 8 pages – which is certainly enough to do justice to the average movie, but is woefully inadequate to cover all aspects of those films that deserve even more extensive analysis. Thus, we’ll be periodically introducing special stand-alone tribute issues that will be limited edition collector’s items. As with the regular issues of Cinema Retro, we anticipate these will increase in value significantly. We’ve decided to market these separately and not make them part of our subscription plan. This is to ensure that readers who do not have enthusiasm for the specific film in question won’t have to pay for an entire issue dedicated to that movie. However, we feel that the movies we cover in the special editions will probably have broad appeal to the majority of our readership.

We’ve decided that our inaugural special edition will be dedicated to a film that is among the most requested by readers in terms of wanting extensive coverage. If you’re a fan of films of the 1960s, you don’t need to be told that MGM’s Where Eagles Dare is one of the most enjoyable movies of that glorious era. The film was a big budget, slam-bang action adventure – the very first time that novelist Alistair MacLean had written a thriller directly for the screen. Part spy film, part war movie, Where Eagles Dare was just one of a number of outstanding movies that made the year 1969 one of the best in the history of the industry.

Over twenty writers and film historians have collaborated to bring you, what we believe, is the most definitive story behind the making of this blockbuster movie. Apart from the wealth of rare behind the scenes photographs – many taken by cast and crew during filming on location and at the studio – we have gathered stories and quotes from people like director Brian G. Hutton, producer Elliott Kastner, stuntmen Joe Powell, Alf Joint and Bill Sawyer, second unit director Yakima Canutt and his assistant director Anthony Waye (now a producer on the James Bond films), art director Peter Mullins – and many more. Also illustrated with film poster artwork from around the world, call sheets, flyers, merchandise, tickets and story board and script pages, this is one tribute to a film you will not want to miss – and our ‘Movie Classics’ issues will be extended to 80 pages for the same price as our regular 64-page magazine!

There will only be 5000 copies printed, and we expect it to be a sell-out immediately. To be published in June, you can email us now to reserve your copy. We do not want payment at this stage, but those of you who contact us will be guaranteed a copy when it is published. However, you are not obliged, at any time, to purchase the magazine.
