I have some (hopefully) interesting posts planned for when August 25th rolls around and I can begin to get into some things related to seeing NoDS at an indoor theater. But between now and then I'd like to share some stuff from my NoDS collection, mostly magazine blurbs (some of which are interesting and others that are quite stupidly inaccurate (and when I say that I mean
REALLY QUITE STUPIDLY INACCURATE - enough to make you wonder what sort of idiots composed them, and what sort of idiots didn't catch the errors in editing!! - but then, as we always lament, what would anything related to any sort of DS be without big blunders?!), but also photos and reviews.
First up, another newspaper photo published on the Sunday before NoDS premiered. This one is from the other major newspaper in Boston at the time, and one that still exists, The Boston Globe.
Interesting that Sudden Terror (and not hoDS) also played with NoDS in Boston And what's interesting about this photo is that it appears in the NoDS PressBook, which wasn't the case with the Quentin photo. And what's also interesting is the caption in the PressBook is extremely similer to the caption that appeared in The Boston Globe.
And considering that neither of those versions really scanned all that well, here's a much better version and one where the dimensions are almost exactly those of the version in the PressBook (though with a caption with a somewhat different twist).
One thing I've always found interesting about this particular publicity still is that David Selby is wearing a coat. I've presumed that's because it was most probably taken during a rehearsal because, as we know, Quentin is not wearing a coat in the scene as it takes place in the film.
