"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."

  1. Oh, my... Kasama din po pala si Rogelio dela Rosa sa Amg Magsasampaguita.

    Matanong ko lang po, meron po ba kayo ng poster ng Takipsilim, na unang movie kung saan naging tandem sila ni Carmen Rosales?
