Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More) A Night in the Moulin Rouge (also released as "Ding Dong Girlies" and "Ding Dong"), the 1951 W. Merle Connell burlesque stripper exotic dancer sexploitation movie ("Ding-Dong!"; "Spicy-Saucy!"; "Naughty but nice!"; "OOO, La! LA!!"; "Snappy Saucy Spicy"; "Girls Girls Girls"; "Oh! La-La (Nuf-Sed)"; "French Style GIRLS") starring Illona ("The Bavarian Orchid"), Iva Pratt ("and the Red Mill Cuties"), Jennie Lee, Jack Little, and George 'Beetlepuss' Lewis. This movie (like other movies that followed it in the 1950s) presented a sort of "evening at a burlesque show". Note that, despite implications of the title, the movie was actually filmed at the "Moulin Rouge Theater", a burlesque theater in Oakland, California! Note that this movie is very similar to the 1951 movie "The French Follies", in that both of them were filmed at a "strip club", where the strippers did their actual routines (except that they did it for a camera in an empty club). That is odd, because the two movies were made by different companies, but maybe someone saw the first movie and then approached the club about doing a similar movie, and they agreed. Some of the same performers appear in both films. In this movie, the soundtrack is pre-recorded, and it doesn't appear that the girls are hearing that music, while in "French Follies", either the music was recorded while the girls were performing, or more likely, it was added later, but because it is the music they were performing to. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. There is minor darkening at the center crossfold. There are minor creases and several small tears in the borders. There are a few small pieces off the top border. These defects are the sort that completely vanish if the poster is backed, aft. Note that this is one of a collection of 39 extremely rare burlesque, sexploitation, and exploitation movie posters from 1938 to 1979 offered by eMoviePoster this week on eBay. These posters are far more rare than regular movie posters because they played in very few theaters. Few of these posters were printed and few survive (especially those from before 1970). Included in this collection are some of the most classic of these titles, including films of Russ Meyer and Radley Metzger.
