A Sneak Preview:
Monkees' Movie
 (16 Summer Spec '68)

	ONCE UPON A TIME there were four sweet, sensitive, gentle (well 
to tell the truth, they were a little mad) boys named Davy, Micky, Peter 
and mike who called themselves the Monkees. They all lived happily in a 
loveable pad where never was heard an ill-tempered word.  Peter told 
jokes and made funny faces, or sat dreamily in the boys' barber chair.  
Micky let his mind wander and wander and wander, until the rest of the 
boys feared he might never get back.  Mike soothed them all with his 
magical guitar.  And Davy-well, in his own adorable way, Davy was 
into everything, cooking up sweet and gentle mischief.
	
	ONE DAY the Monkees decided to see wheat goodies lay outside 
their lovable pad, so all together they ventured forth.  Which was a 
mistake.  Cos during a visit-uh, what the British call the "loo"-the 
cops swooped down on our sweet young innocents and lined them up 
against the wall!  In short, Davy, Micky, Peter and Mike were 
arrested!  (Never trust anybody over 30!)
	
	IT'S A LITTLE hard to explain what happened next-or even whether 
it happened at all (prison does strange things to tender imaginations, 
you know!)  At any rate, Davy decided that he wanted to become a 
violinist.  He sat and sat for hours, plucking the one string on his 
violin that he knew how to play.  This so unnerved the rest of the boys 
that they urged him to give up the violin and become a prizefighter 
instead.  Which he did.  Bust sad to say, Davy wasn't' any better as 
a prizefighter than he was as a violinist-and his opponent in the ring, 
former champion Sonny Liston, was so disdainful of Davy's fighting style 
that at first he didn't bother to remove this robe.  Then he doffed it 
and set out to give Davy the worst licking of his life-but before he 
could lay a glove on Davy's courageous jaw, Micky leaped into the ring 
and darted between them!  Naturally, the cops interfered.  (Never trust 
anybody over 30!)
	
	YOUD'D BETTER come a little closer while we reveal what happened 
next, cos we can't talk above a whisper.  It's top secret hush-hush.  
In fact, it's weird.  Even Davy, Micky, Peter and Mike got actually 
solemn thinking about it.  There' this mad scientist, see-that's the 
one, the spooky character with the double-lens vision.  Anybody can 
tell he's up to no good.  But what is he up to?!
	
	THE MONKEES put their heads together and decided to split the 
scene.  Joyously, they tossed aside their coveralls and made for 
home-sweet-home-but the mad scientist (drat him!) sent his private 
police to bring them back!  Led by Davy, the Monkees fought furiously! 
BAM! SLAM! POW! ZOWIE!	 But when the battle was over(sob!), our boys 
not only were the mad scientist's prisoners-but they were strapped to 
a conveyor belt that slowly but surely took them closer and closer to---
A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH?!!
	

P.S.  Any similarity between the story we have told here and the story 
you will see in the Monkee' movie is just not possible!  Since the 
Monkees are keeping the story of their movie a deep, dark secret you 
just gotta go see it and find out for yourself how Davy, Micky, Peter 
and mike save themselves from the (uhg!) mad scientist!  But while our 
story was made up in our own little heads, the pictures you see here are 
the real thing-straight from the sets of the Monkees' exciting, madly 
original movie!
