Scope and Content
Lobby cards for "Voices. A Love Story Beyond Words." Set of 8 numbered cards issued for motion picture theater promotional use by National Screen Service Corporation. Copyright 1979 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Printed cardstock, 11" x 14" wide.
Film released by MGM in U.S. on March 14, 1979. Key locations filmed in Hoboken. Production filming is presumed to have been done in late 1978 or early 1979.
Only 2 of the eight cards have information in the image that can place the scene as Hoboken. Others scenes may have been done here, but there is not enough background to establish location. (Note: film has not been viewed to establish these other possible locations.)
Card 4: Actress Amy Irving is in the Lackawanna Terminal Waiting Room; note the heating vent behind her which are on top of the passenger seating.
Card 8: Actors Michael Ontkean and Alex Rocco are seen in the northern corner of Elysian Park, Hoboken (the woman and man behind them have not been identified.) In the distance behind Ontkean's head is a stop sign which is at the northeast corner of River Road at Hudson Street. The building at the right is the Soluble Products building of the Maxwell House Coffee Plant (without the vines that grew over it later.) The far left background is the apartment buildings at the northwest corner of Hudson and Eleventh Streets.
