Auction History Result 1t764 PLAYGIRL AFTER DARK 8x10.25 still 1962 sexiest Jayne Mansfield is Too Hot To Handle! Date Sold 11/26/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1962 Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (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. Important Added Info: Note that this is an odd still with a wonderful image! What makes it odd is that it looks like a U.S. still, but it has the original English title instead of the U.S. title. The first U.S. release was in 1962 through Topaz Film Corporation, and this still is from Ovimco Film Exchange, and we have never seen any posters through this company, and in fact, we can't find any evidence this company ever existed! So we have no idea what's going on, but our best guess is this is a 1960s re-release of this movie (and it is not to be confused with the 1960s MGM re-release under the English title, because all those items clearly say MGM on them!
