17 photos from the premieres of famous films that happened a long time ago (18 photos)
I invite you to look at a few atmospheric photographs from the premieres of famous films whose release took place so long ago that you might simply have never seen these photographs.
In the era of social networks and the all-encompassing Internet, any high-profile premiere, accompanied by the appearance of the main stars on the carpet in front of some large cinema, quickly spreads around the world. But some 20 years ago and earlier, such events had much less chance of reaching the eyes of everyone - you had to get to the news release or buy the corresponding magazine. And what films came out then!
