Auction History Result #029 DING DONG GIRLIES 1sh '51 burlesque! Date Sold 1/22/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet (27" x 41") (Learn More) A Night in the Moulin Rouge (also released as "Ding Dong Girlies" and "Ding Dong"), the 1951 W. Merle Connell burlesque stripper exotic dancer sexploitation movie ("Ding-Dong!"; "Spicy-Saucy!"; "Naughty but nice!"; "Ooo, La! La!!"; "Snappy Saucy Spicy"; "Girls Girls Girls"; "Oh! La-La (Nuf-Sed)"; "French Style Girls") starring Illona ("The Bavarian Orchid"), Iva Pratt ("and the Red Mill Cuties"), Jennie Lee, Jack Little, and George 'Beetlepuss' Lewis. This movie (like other movies that followed it in the 1950s) presented a sort of "evening at a burlesque show". Note that, despite implications of the title, the movie was actually filmed at the "Moulin Rouge Theater", a burlesque theater in Oakland, California! Note that this movie is very similar to the 1951 movie "The French Follies", in that both of them were filmed at a "strip club", where the strippers did their actual routines (except that they did it for a camera in an empty club). That is odd, because the two movies were made by different companies, but maybe someone saw the first movie and then approached the club about doing a similar movie, and they agreed. Some of the same performers appear in both films. In this movie, the soundtrack is pre-recorded, and it doesn't appear that the girls are hearing that music, while in "French Follies", either the music was recorded while the girls were performing, or more likely, it was added later, but because it is the music they were performing to. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster came from a collection of expliotation posters from the 1920s to 1970s, including sexpliotation films, strip-tease films, and films with all-black casts. Such posters are far more rare than mainstream posters of the same years! This is because such films only played in a very limited number of theaters. Few posters were made and very few survive (especially from films from before 1970). Condition: very good. There is 1 1/2" of separation at the bottom crossfold. There is 2 1/2" of separation at the bottom and at the top of the vertical foldline. Learn More about condition grades
