1981.
Original "Odorama" card, passed out to audiences for the premiere screenings of John Waters' 1981 film, "Polyester." INSCRIBED on the left by Edith Massey (as "Edie Massey"), who played Cuddles Kovinsky in the film, and SIGNED by John Waters on the right. Fine condition, 5 x 11 inches. From Wikipedia: "Odors, especially Francine's particularly keen sense of smell, play an important role in the film. To highlight this, Waters designed Odorama, a "scratch-and-sniff" gimmick inspired by the work of William Castle and the 1960 film Scent of Mystery, which featured a device called Smell-O-Vision. Special cards with spots numbered 1 through 10 were distributed to audience members before the show, in the manner of 3D glasses. When a number flashed on the screen, viewers were to scratch and sniff the appropriate spot. Smells included the scent of flowers, pizza, glue, gas, grass, and feces." [Book #106356]
