Simon, who were the winners of the 1st Manila Film Festival?
I don't have the data, James. I'll try researching on it.
great great post! who were the jurors pala?
Simon,
Nostalgia. I remember this. I remember watching and liking Tony Ferrer's Agent x-44, which became a series and I watched all of them. Parang James Bond. BTW, I saw Capitol Theater in Escolta on my Manila trip, it's an abandoned building now, Lyric is gone.
Rod
Simon,
Aside from EDDIE DOMER, sino-sino pa ang gumagawa ng movie ads noon? parang mi nakita akong Tony Zuniga doon?
Rod,
Tama ka, both Capitol & Lyric theaters has gone to seed. At halos lahat ng sinehan sa Metro Manila. Kinain ng Robinsons, SM at iba pang Malls.
Auggie
Auggie, Yes, Tony Zuniga was doing the movie ads of FPJ. I also remember Panganiban Marvin B. doing ads for Tagalog-Ilang Ilang, LEA, People's Pictures.
