An early example of part of a film being shown to the public in advance of its release: In May 1938, before Port of Shadows had finished shooting, the French Cinematheque showed an excerpt from the footage in progress.
Port of Shadows
Down a foggy, desolate road to the port city of Le Havre travels Jean, an army deserter looking for another chance to make good on life. Fate, however, has a different plan for him, as acts of both revenge and kindness render him front-page news.
