Dementia 13 - Lobby Cards
Here are a few Lobby Cards from Dementia 13 (1963), directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Lobby Cards were 11" x 14" posters that came in sets of 8. As the name implies, they were most often displayed in movie theater lobbies, to advertise current or coming attractions.

Movie Clip

Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) — (Movie Clip) What We Said On Tuesday Peggy (Kathleen Turner) knows she’s time-traveled back to 1960 from the ’85 high school reunion but her mom, dad and sister (Barbara Harris, Don Murray and Sofia Coppola, the director Francis’ daughter) just think she’s acting strange (since she fainted at the blood drive the day before), as does boyfriend and future husband Charlie (Nicolas Cage) picking her up for school, in Peggy Sue Got Married, 1986.
Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) — (Movie Clip) A King And A Queen Kathleen Turner (title character at her 25th reunion) is upset because her recent-ex Charlie (Nicolas Cage) unexpectedly showed up, then nerd-turned billionaire Richard (Barry Miller) is named king and she’s queen, in her dress from back-then, Jim Carrey heckling, Helen Hunt her daughter, Wil Shriner the M-C, and Marshall Crenshaw, who would play Buddy Holly in La Bamba, 1987, leading the band, in Francis Ford Coppola’s Peggy Sue Got Married, 1986.
Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) — (Movie Clip) Richard’s Burrito Getting a better grip on things since she passed out at the ’85 high school reunion and time-traveled back to 1960, Kathleen Turner (title character in her Best-Actress nominated role) has arranged to meet nerdy future billionaire Richard (Barry Miller) in the physics lab, in Francis Coppola’s sleeper hit from his Zoetrope Studios, Peggy Sue Got Married, 1986.
Freshman, The (1990) -- (Movie Clip) Guns And Provolone In his NYU film class, Clark (Matthew Broderick) is studying The Godfather: Part II, 1974, just after he’s been hired by Carmine Sabatini (played by Marlon Brando), who he’s been told was the basis for the Vito Corleone character, writer-director Andrew Bergman’s joke being about Paul Benedict as the pompous professor Fleeber, in The Freshman, 1990.
Black Stallion, The (1979) -- (Movie Clip) Off The Coast Of North Africa, 1946 Director Carroll Ballard’s opening, dialogue free, evoking the initial premise of the novel by Walter Farley, introducing star Kelly Reno as young American Alec, and Cass-Olé, the Texas-bred Arabian trained for the film by Glen, J.R. and Corky Randall, in The Black Stallion, 1979.
Black Stallion, The (1979) -- (Movie Clip) He'll Die Without Me Nearly 30 minutes since the last spoken line, Alec (Kelly Reno) is surprised when fishermen appear at the Mediterranean island where he and the stallion he now calls “Black” have been stranded for weeks, in director Carroll Ballard’s The Black Stallion, 1979.
Black Stallion, The (1979) -- (Movie Clip) Beach Shipwrecked Alec (Kelly Reno) making friends with the horse (Cass-Ole), cinematographer Caleb Deschanel on location in Sardinia, in The Black Stallion, 1979, directed by Carroll Ballard.
Black Stallion, The (1979) -- (Movie Clip) Shipwreck Most of director Carroll Ballard's frantic shipwreck scene, Alec (Kelly Reno) awakened, father (Hoyt Axton) attempting rescue, crazy Arab guy (Doghmi Larbi) interfering and horse (Cass-Ole) escaping, in The Black Stallion, 1979.
Finian's Rainbow (1968) -- (Movie Clip) Me Magnetic Feather Finian (Fred Astaire) has sneaked into the night in Misstucky, U.S.A., to bury the pot of gold he's brought from Ireland, convinced it will grow, when he meets leprechaun Og (Tommy Steele, his first scene), who has a complaint, in Finian's Rainbow, 1968.
Finian's Rainbow (1968) -- (Movie Clip) Look To The Rainbow Petula Clark sings the Burton Lane and E.Y. Harburg tune, as she and Fred Astaire (playing her Irish father) traverse the United States, in Francis Coppola's charming, if geographically incoherent, opening credit sequence, from Finian's Rainbow, 1968.
Finian's Rainbow (1968) -- (Movie Clip) Something Sort Of Grandish Irish Sharon (Petula Clark) has just fished leprechaun Og (Tommy Steele) from the well at her new home in the U-S-A, though he doesn't realize she's fallen for another, as they deliver a tune by Burton Lane and E.Y. Harburg, in Finian's Rainbow, 1968.
Finian's Rainbow (1968) -- (Movie Clip) Follow The Fellow Fred Astaire (as Finian, fresh from Ireland), age 68, in his last musical, leads Petula Clark (as daughter Sharon), who was convinced she couldn't dance with him, into their first number, all the American kids supporting, Francis Coppola directing, in Finian's Rainbow, 1968.
