THE NEXT MAN, etc.
Here's a killer Proctor's ad from January, 1977. First up is a Sean Connery double-feature: the political thriller THE NEXT MAN (1976) and John Huston's THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING (1975); then a special late show screening of Neil Young's rare and bizarre stoner fest JOURNEY THROUGH THE PAST (1974), which has only ever been available through bootleggers; the kiddie matinee rounds out the ad with Ishirô Honda's YOG MONSTER FROM SPACE, the US release of Gezora, Ganime, Kameba: Kessen! Nankai no daikaijû (1970), on DVD as SPACE AMOEBA.
