Towards the end of 1956 and into the next year in Picture-goer Magazine, we had among many other items advertisements for what we were to see in the coming weeks at our local cinema.

At that time, this would increase our excitement levels because the advertisement would itself convey excitement as with The Battle of the River Plate BELOW

I see that the supporting film was The Red Balloon which seemed to get a lot of praise and publicity at the time I remember- I think it was a French Film that was either dubbed or had sub-titles

I hope that the above has not been included in a previous post – I don’t think so but as I have tried to do so many articles – particularly throughout 2019 – it would be easy to duplicate.

From  Picture-goer Magazine, we see an introduction to Friendly Persuasion – a film I cannot remember ever seeing although it had quite a lot of publicity and came from MGM so the budget would be high – one thing though – I am sure that Pat Boone sang the them song from the film He would have been at the peak of his success at this time.

William Holden BELOW in Brink of Hell – another one I have no recollection of.

All of the above advertisements are from Picture-goer Magazine of December 1958 or January 1959
