An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 45 3/4" x 62 3/4" [116 x 159 cm]) (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. Artist: d'apres Gerard Hage Important Added Info: Note that this poster reuses the Hage art from the first release French poster, but because it was not the first time the art was used, the poster designer added "d'apres", meaning that this was not the first time this artwork was used. We don't know if it was used earlier on the same poster (which would make this a re-release) or if the art was re-used from a different poster. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
