An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Mudhoney (also released as "Rope of Flesh"), the 1965 Russ Meyer sexploitation movie ("...a film of ribaldry and violence made from the juice of life!"; "Passion debased by lust... Mudhoney ... Leaves a taste of evil!"; "featuring 'That Girl' from Lorna... Lorna Maitland! Too Much for One Town!!"; "A story never told so frankly... So intimately! You Will Go Away... Whispering!"; "From Russ Meyer... the producer who gave you Lorna"; "If the frank presentation of intimate passions offends you, Do Not see this motion picture"; "More Shocking than 'Peyton Place' - Bawdier than 'Tobacco Road' - Earthier than 'God's Little Acre' - The unflinching Expose of small-town Lust and Savagery.. Voluptuous women and Virile men - all caught in the merciless Coils of primitive Passions and Raw Emotions"; "For mature adults") starring Hal Hopper, Antoinette Christiani, John Furlong, Stu Lancaster, Rena Horten, Frank Bolger, Princess Livingston, Nick Wolcuff, Lee Ballard, Sam Hanna, Mickey Foxx, F. Rufus Owens, and Lorna Maitland (billed as "featuring Lorna Maitland"). Note that director Russ Meyer released this movie in 1965 as both "Rope of Flesh" and "Mudhoney", giving each its own complete ad campaign (he did this with several of his movies, almost certainly to trick both theater owners and theatergoers into booking and seeing the same movie more than once!). The posters and lobby cards for the "Mudhoney" release are of superior design and are more desirable by collectors. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. There are some faint scuffs on the front cover and some numbers written in pen on the back cover, but the pressbook is otherwise in pretty nice condition!
