Playgirl After Dark [Too Hot to Handle]

N.p. Topaz Film Corporation, Circa 1961. Vintage two-color banner poster for US release of the 1960 British film, originally released in the UK as "Too Hot to Handle." Uncommon in this format.

Jayne Mansfield stars as showgirl Midnight Franklin, headliner at the Pink Flamingo club in Soho, run by her tough guy boyfriend Johnny Solos. When Johnny starts getting threats and demands for protection money from a rival club owner he fights back.

Featuring famously risqué musical numbers featuring Mansfield in see-through clothing, some frames from which were published in Playboy magazine, and were visually altered for the US release to meet censor requirements.

118.5 x 24 inches. Very Good plus, with some rubbing to the lower left and upper right causing modest color loss. Bright and unfaded.

Grant UK.
