‘SUPER FLY’ IS SUPER BIG
MR. EXHIBITOR,
When you receive your ‘‘Super Fly’’ posters from National Screen Service, you will also receive a snipe that must be placed on each poster and on the lobby standee. The poster page in the pressbook shows these snipes in
the proper place. Be sure you match the position exactly.
STARRING

CHUCK SILVER, Soul Newspaper
‘“Symbolically, ‘Super Fly’ stands in a class by itself.’’

KEVIN SANDERS, ABC-TV
‘“‘A brilliantly idiomatic film. The film’s gut pleasures are real, and there are a lot of them...a very good movie.’’ ROGER GREENSPUN, New York Times
‘* “Super Fly’ is brilliant. It has a solid, tense plot, eyecatching settings, sex, whirlwind pacing.’’
BARBARA GOLDSMITH, Harpers Bazaar
‘Beautifully written, vividly acted and artistically photographed. Gripping, jolting, memorable. Ron O’Neal evinces a performance of such inspiring magnitude that viewers will have something long to remember.’’
BILL LANE, World News Syndicated
‘‘A potent, taut drama. One scene will have everyone talking, the ending will have them screaming.’’ GERTRUDE GIPSON, Los Angeles Sentinel

W. Harris.’’

R.A., Cash Box
‘‘The film is a revelation. Gordon Parks Jr., an interesting talent.’ ALAN SAYER, Hollywood Reporter
‘This innovative, community film about the Harlem drug scene invades new territory in introducing, defining, explaining and exposing the life and lifestyle of the nemesis of the ghetto — the pusher. This independent film project, financed by members of the black community and directed by Gordon Parks Jr. certainly represents where the future of black filmmaking should be. A style and atmosphere that can’t be overlooked. It captures the essence of Harlem better than any other feature film this year. Symbolically, ‘Super Fly’ stands in a class by itself.’’
