A friend of mine gave me this DVD a few weeks ago, and I was VERY surprised when this lobby card reproduction dropped out of the box. I’ve never seen the movie, but I remember the ads being a whole lot less salacious and, well, repellent than this one. If memory serves, this was a New World release here in America, but I see a “United Artists” logo down in the right hand corner. Could this poster have been generated from a non-domestic advertising campaign? I just don’t remember seeing this lobby card when the film played at a heater near me. But whether it was or not, the image obviously originates from either the film or a very lurid-minded still photographer on the set, which makes me wonder just how enjoyable a visit to Jackson County Jail is going to be. I’ll try to remember to report back when I finally spin this platter!
Embarrassing to whom, is I guess the question. Poor Yvette. What a checkered career.
It always amazes me how much different artwork is being made to market movies. I haven’t got a single clue about this film, but its poster is a masterpiece of lurid exploitation! 🙂
Tommy Lee Jones is the co-star. The film was a hit and les exploitative than suggested.
