RARE VINTAGE PRE-WAR TAGALOG MOVIE FLYERS

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.

Scanned from the original copies are these two vintage double-sided movie advertising flyers of Fernando Poe Sr. movies, Hanggang Langit (1939) from Cine Ligaya theater at Bocaue, Bulacan and Dilim at Liwanag (1940) from Cine Linda theater at Meycawayan, Bulacan distributed free to movie patrons.


Hanggang Langit (1939)- Stars Fernando Poe, Sr., Maria Miranda, Ben Rubio, Cecilio Joaquin/ Directed by Ted Del Rio

Dilim at Liwanag (1940)- Stars Fernando Poe, Sr., Lucita Goyena, Ben Rubio, Mona Lisa/ Directed by Eduardo de Castro

  1. I actually have two of these. One is an Avellana movie I already forgot the title. Another is of "Halimaw," apparently the first sound film in the Philippines.
