To Monte Carlo Villas... The Inside Story of the Men Behind the Beauty Racket!"; "Now a startling expose!"; "From the Boardwalk to Monte Carlo Villas... the glamorous, fabulous world of girls thrown into the rat race of beauty contests... and the men who bargain for them!"; "Behind the beauty and glamour - the primitive law of the jungle" about the rise and fall of a beautiful office worker who wins a beauty contest, but then sees her fortunes fade) starring Ian Hendry, Janette Scott ("sensationally and excitingly different..."), Ronald Fraser, Edmund Purdom, and Jean Claudio. Note that Janette Scott is best remembered for her starring role in "Day of the Triffids" in 1963, which was immortalized in the lyrics of the song from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" that says "And I really got hot When I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills." She divorced her first husband and married Mel Torme in 1966, which pretty much ended her career, as she quickly had two children. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. Also note that this Italian two-panel poster was printed in 2 sections (designed to overlap) and when combined, the poster measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm]. Note that this poster was folded in half an extra time. If it is purchased by itself (or solely with other posters that were folded an extra time), then it can be sent in one of our standard size mailers. But if it is purchased with posters that were NOT folded an extra time, then it will need to be sent in one of our oversized flat packages. If you solely purchase this poster, we will re-fold it an extra time. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
