Summary
This two page newspaper supplement was issued with an edition of `The Sun' newspaper in 1983 to promote the upcoming release of the Australian motion picture `Phar Lap'.
This copy is probably a printer's proof, retained by the film production, as the inside pages are blank.
Physical Description
Large sheet of glossy newsprint, folded over to form four pages. Has a colour photograph of a group of horses and jockey during a race printed on the front. Printed above it is the newspaper head masthead and price details. Printed below are details about other contents of the newspaper (not present in this copy.) The reverse contains a full paged Benson & Hedges advertisement, which shows a black horse with a jockey wearing orange silks and a white horse with Steward. Two standing figures, a woman and a man, all standing on a race track. The inside pages are blank.
