"Movie flyers have been used by theater owners as promotional ads to drum up business for movies. They would print them up from materials provided by the studio, adding information on local screening times and locations. Although they were cheaply produced, many of the flyers were quite nicely designed and are now considered highly collectibles. In many cases the original films have been lost, making the surviving flyers the only visual record of numerous movies."

Most pre-war movies of Sampaguita Pictures were remade after the war like "Madaling Araw" (Susan Roces, Amalia Fuentes, Juancho Gutierrez, Romeo Vasquez starred in the remake), "Paruparong Bukid" (Gloria Romero, Luis Gonzales starred in the remake),"Mapait Na Lihim", "Alipin Ng Palad", etc. Simon, sana ipost mo rin yung mga remakes ng mga pre-war movies.
