"WHERE EAGLES DARE": THE UPDATED AND REVISED CINEMA RETRO MOVIE CLASSICS ISSUE NOW SHIPPING WORLDWIDE!

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 10:10:00 -0500

"BROADSWORD CALLING DANNY BOY!"

WHERE EAGLES DARE CINEMA RETRO MOVIE CLASSICS REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION IS NOW SHIPPING WORLDWIDE!

IF YOU ARE AMONG THE MANY READERS WHO PRE-ORDERED THIS TITLE, IT IS EN ROUTE TO YOU RIGHT NOW! IF YOU HAVEN'T ORDERED IT YET, DO SO TODAY SO YOU DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR'S ITEM!

When we first interviewed producer Elliott Kastner back in 2004, he told us, "You don't remake Sabrina. You don't remake The Blue Angel. You don't remake Casablanca and I won't remake Where Eagles Dare."

This is a stance that Cinema Retro has taken in regard to reprinting sold-out issues of our magazine. However, the response to our Movie Classics Special Issue #1 dedicated to this great WWII adventure was beyond our expectations and it sold out almost immediately when published in 2009. Since then, we have had many requests to republish and also saw the value of this issue exceed $200 per copy on eBay. Thus, we've bowed to the wishes of our readers and created an updated and expanded version of that classic issue. By doing so, we're not devaluing the original, which will remain a highly prized collector's item. Inside these pages, you will find the original issue (slightly changed with the addition of many new, rare photographs) plus new features that were not available to us at the time of the original printing. Topping it all off is an exclusive new interview with the film's director, Brian G. Hutton, plus an abundance of rarities we've just unearthed including another deleted sequence and original studio memos from the Kastner family files that shed light on who was supposed to star in the film (you won't believe it!).

This new edition can be viewed as our sincere tribute to two wonderful friends who are associated with the film: Elliott Kastner and actress Ingrid Pitt, both of whom we lost in 2010. We mourn their passing and hope that this issue will stand as a tribute to their talents and enduring legacy.

116 pages- a full 36 pages more than the original issue! 52 pages more than the standard Cinema Retro issue!
Perfect bound format with flat-edged spine

This is a limited edition collector's item...order now to ensure you don't miss out!

CINEMA RETRO'S "KELLY'S HEROES" ISSUE STILL A TOP-SELLER!

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:01:00 -0500

THE KELLY'S HEROES MOVIE CLASSICS SPECIAL EDITION HAS PROVEN TO BE ONE OF OUR MOST POPULAR ISSUES EVER! IF YOU HAVEN'T ORDERED YET, DO SO TODAY AND ADD THIS SURE-TO-BE VALUED COLLECTOR'S ITEM TO YOUR CINEMA RETRO LIBRARY!

The acclaim from fans and those who worked on the film is pouring in. Here is an E mail we received from director John Landis, who began his career working as an assistant to director Brian G. Hutton on the movie:

Dear Dave and Lee –

The Kelly's Heroes extravaganza arrived today and it's quite overwhelming! I can't wait to read it cover to cover! It looks fantastic and extremely thorough. Congratulations! I really have never seen anything like it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Best always - John

As you may know, John Landis knows a thing or two about making movies, so his praise is certainly appreciated. A special thanks to John for providing ultra rare photos from his personal archive as well as original call sheets from the movie.

Following on from our 'Movie Classics Special Edition' that paid tribute to director Brian G. Hutton's Where Eagles Dare), we bring you his other big picture collaboration with star Clint Eastwood - Kelly's Heroes.

As before, this is an 80-page blockbuster filled with amazing stories and ultra -rare photographs, many which have never been seen before, and all for the same cover price as our regular 64-page magazine!

We have had the full cooperation of the director Brian G. Hutton, who has shared with us the trials and tribulations of making this WWII action-comedy on location in Yugoslavia. Some of the stories have to be read to be believed! Additionally, we have exclusive interviews with John Landis, actor Stuart Margolin (Little Joe), and Eastwood's regular key grip, Dennis Fraser. This issue is packed with sidebar information on the filming, the locations, the music, the actors, the world-wide poster campaigns and the collectibles. We have also unearthed rare vintage interviews with Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles and Donald Sutherland recorded on location back in 1969 which have never been published before. All of this, plus many photographs taken on the set by cast and crew that we can guarantee you have never seen before.

“Oddball” would be pleased that there will be "no negative waves" from Cinema Retro's latest Movie Classics Special Edition

CINEMA RETRO'S DOUBLE DOSE OF EASTWOOD: "DOLLARS" AND "KELLY'S HEROES" MOVIE CLASSICS SPECIAL ISSUES

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:37:00 -0600

Given the fast sell-out of Cinema Retro's Where Eagles Dare issue in 2009, we anticipated a lot of interest in our other two Movie Classics special issues commemorating the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone "Dollars" films and Eastwood's 1970 WWII hit Kelly's Heroes. Although we had an increased print run for these titles, we never expected the response would be so overwhelming. These are the two best-selling issues in Cinema Retro's eight year history- and they keep selling briskly. (A web site dedicated to WWII history sold over 500 copies of Kelly's in the last month alone!).

If you haven't ordered these 80 page issues, do so today- each issue is loaded with a mind-boggling number of rare photos, some of which are printed here for the first time.

Copies of Where Eagles Dare are now selling for over $200 each on Ebay. Don't let these issues escape your collection! They are sure to be valued collector's items once they are out of print.

CINEMA RETRO'S SEASON HAS BEGUN- ISSUE #22 NOW SHIPPING IN UK AND EUROPE! SUBSCRIBE OR RENEW TODAY!

nospam@example.com (Cinema Retro) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 07:28:00 -0600

Cinema Retro issue #22, the first issue of Season 8, is now shipping to all subscribers in the UK and Europe. We expect the issue to arrive in the USA in early January and it will be sent out to American and Canadian subscribers, as well as those in other parts of the world as soon as it lands on our doorstep.

It's a pretty joyous way for us to welcome the holidays- that is, celebrating the eighth year of Cinema Retro. It's been quite a ride. Thanks to all who have purchased issues and especially those loyal readers who support us by subscribing. Many of you have heeded our annual plea to renew your subscriptions ASAP. This helps insure there is adequate cash flow to help us continue to limit the amount of advertisements in every issue, thereby giving you 64 pages of great content.

If you have not renewed your subscription for season 8, please do so today. Remember, every issue is a limited edition collector's item and the longer you wait, the greater the chance that you might find yourself paying sky high prices on the collector's circuit to get the ones you are missing.The closing of Borders stores also means there are less copies available for the American market, so subscribing ensures you'll never miss an issue.

As we celebrate another successful year, we also have to thank all of the enormously talented writers who contribute to every issue. Without their willingness to share their insights with our readers, Cinema Retro would be a pale shadow of what it is today. We also want to thank all of the noted professionals from the film industry who are so supportive of our efforts to pay tribute to the great films of the 60s and 70s. There are also world class authors and film scholars who enrich our every issue with their talents. (It's a bit humbling to have the likes of Sir Christopher Frayling volunteering to write an in-depth article about the making of How the West Was Won.)

We have another great season lined up for you this year, so get on the Cinema Retro bandwagon by subscribing or renewing today.

We wish you all the best for the holiday season.
