Spotting old books and magazines and dummy newspapers in TV, movies and old photos

[Victoria Silverwolf]

From Glen or Glenda? (1953)

Not the most convincing paste-up job.

Spotted in the opening sequence of Aquaman (and the point at which I should have stopped watching.)

Probably this edition:

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

From the amateur film As the Earth Turns (1937):

Not a bad job at all, and a decent prediction of what World War Two would be like.

Jean-Louis Trintignant comes out of a newsagents towards the end of Alain Robbe-Grillet's Trans-Europe Express (1966).

In the window behind him a whole pile of Belgian comic books - the only ones I can identify off the top of my head are:
Top row 3rd from left

Second row 3rd

(The lettering on the top is different because that may be a Flemish edition.)
+ 4th

Now that's impressive spotting-work!

There must be an analogous shot in A Bout de Souffle, quite apart from Jean Seaberg selling the International Herald Tribune to passing Parisian motorists.

From “The Oddfather,” a Sanford and Son 5th season teleplay, 2 Jan. 1976. “Giant Plane Found; All Aboard Safe.”

There are at least three other titles someone other than myself has recognized.

Second row down, second from left: as mentioned in the blurb.

I tried to identify some of the ones not identified in the first posting & struck out, so way to go, y'all.

The middle book on the lowest shelf is clearly JACKSON something, but searching under JACKSON MANHUNT, which seemed to be a possibility, strikes out.

Amazing spotting going on here. What's the Ben Hecht book on the middle shelf?

Yes, that's the Hecht, but boy, I've heard of cheap paperbacks -- !
