An Original Vintage Movie Souvenir Program Book (measures 11 1/2" x 15" [29 x 38 cm]; 32 pages) (Learn More) Cole Porter's Can-Can, the 1960 Walter Lang France singing-and-dancing romantic musical ("Now at popular prices! Continuous performances! THE GREATEST ENTERTAINMENT SHOW! UNCUT! INTACT! Exactly as it ran for over a year in the major capitals of the world!"; with music by Cole Porter; based on the play by Abe Burrows) starring Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, and Juliet Prowse (in her first movie role; she was in the Juliet Prowse Trio dancing in Rome, Italy, and MGM choreographer Hermes Pan saw her and recommended she be cast in the role of Shirley MacLaine's sister in this movie!). Note that, as noted above, the movie played in a very limited "roadshow" release for a full year in "the major capitals of the year", before it had a wide release to "regular" theaters. The version that played in those capitals of the world was in TODD-AO, but that version was not used for the wide release. So none of the regular U.S. posters have "TODD-AO" on them, because new posters were created for the wide release, and whatever posters were used in the few U.S. cities for the TODD-AO release either no longer exist or may have been individually made. We have seen a Japanese poster and a Spanish language poster with "TODD-AO" on it, and we were recently consigned a British quad that has "TODD-AO" at the top, but has a snipe over it, indicating it was used for the wide release in England. If anyone has ever seen any other posters with TODD-AO, especially a U.S. one, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this unusual program book is much larger than regular ones, and it has a fold-out flap on the inside of the front cover. Also note that we have pictured the front cover and an interior 2-page spread from this program. You can use these images to determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are some other pages you are not seeing. Condition: fair to good.
