An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 42" x 54") (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. Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 3 sections, but the top section is missing. The remaining two sections have been combined and they now measure 42" x 54". NOTE THAT IT IS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE POSTER DISPLAYS WELL EVEN WITHOUT THE TOP SECTION! We have never seen this poster before, so we have no idea what was on the missing top section, but the title, the artwork, and most of the taglines are all on the bottom two-thirds. All that is missing is a blank border at top, which any restorer could easily add to the poster during the linenbacking process. Condition: fair. THE TOP ONE-THIRD OF THE POSTER IS MISSING ! The remaining two sections were taped together and then rolled, and there are creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss around the edges of those two sections. Please do not bid on this really cool poster unless you can accept that it is missing one-third of the poster! Learn More about condition grades
