Auction History Result 9d081 PLAYGIRL AFTER DARK linen English 1sh '62 full-length stone litho of sexy Jayne Mansfield! Date Sold 6/2/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked English One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40" [69 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Too Hot to Handle (released in the U.S. in 1962 as "Playgirl After Dark"), the 1960 Terence Young English sexploitation exotic dancer stripper bad girl crime thriller ("It strips the secrets from the intimate key clubs!"; "The girls who rock the night as tease queens!"; "The sizzler you read about in Playboy Magazine!"; "In the naked glare of the Key Clubs... A glamorous, amorous girl world for pleasure hunters!") starring Jayne Mansfield, Leo Glenn, Karlheinz Bohm (billed as "Carl Boehm"), Christopher Lee, Kai Fischer, and Danik Patisson (billed as "introducing Danik Patisson"). Note that this movie was a gritty English crime thriller, but when it was released in the U.S., the U.S. distributor wisely seized on what they believed to be the film's greatest asset, namely Jayne Mansfield's body, and they re-named it "Playgirl After Dark", and put a large near-naked image of Mansfield on the posters, and made it look like it was some kind of sex film that revolved around her (I would highly doubt that that was not a wise move on their part!). Oddly, when the film was re-released in the 1960s, the original English title of "Too Hot To Handle" was used. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had paper loss at the middle crossfold with many extra creases, tears, darkening, and tiny paper loss scattered on most of the other foldlines. There was a 5" diagonal tear in the upper center of the poster starting above the word "LEO". There were pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges. The poster was used in Holland, and there is a Dutch title written in blakc directly below the regular title. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Even though the poster has many defects, it still displays pretty well, because most viewers' eyes will surely focus on the great sexy full-length art of Jayne Mansfield!
