EXPLOITATION MATERIAL Ehe New ork Cimes al Bank Robber Former Professir’ dealing with Ircle 5-600. Crown, oe Advts Bank Robbers Wanted! We staged a good stunt in New York. The ad at left appeared in several N. Y. papers for about a week. We received over 500 calls in response to it. We asked ten people of the fifty who actually committed bank robberies to come in for interviews. Proof that they had served time, such as documentation of time served, referral to parole officer, papers attesting to release from prison, was furnished. The stunt broke big on Nation-wide TV! It made both the early and Iate evening news shows on NBC, CBS, ABC and Metromedia. Adapt this idea for your area. Invite applicants to your sneak previews or openings and set interviews on TV, radio and the press. FREE TV-RADIO MATERIAL There are a full set of TV and Radio Spot announcements running from ten seconds to a full minute with ample time at the ends for local information. The TV Spots (in color, if specified) are on 16mm film, and the Radio Spots are on a 33 rpm disc. Both are available FREE. TWO FREE TV FEATURETTES There are available two FREE TV featurettes based on “The Thomas Crown Affair’ which spell entertainment in any program director’s language! One runs eight minutes and 55 seconds. It is a gay and fast patter centering around action from the picture, with conversation by Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway and Producer Norman Jewison. It’s called “Three’s Company,” and recently had nation-wide exposure following the NBC-TV “Saturday Night at the Movies” program. The other featurette runs three-and-a-half-minutes and stars McQueen and Miss Dunaway who answer a narrator’s questions. FREE DICK STROUT RECORD The popular Hollywood commentator of the air, Dick Strout, has prepared an interview record which is available FREE. On one side, Strout interviews Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway and Paul Burke in one sequence, and a separate interview with Producer-Director Norman Jewison. The reverse side of the record is open-ended. That is, the answer have been recorded, but the questions are supplied in an accompanying script, complete with que-ins, so that local announcer can do the interviewing.
