An Original Vintage Movie Trade Ad (measures 6" x 9 1/4" [15 x 23 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Kiss Me, Stupid, the 1965 Billy Wilder stranded-in-a-small-town romantic comedy ("Billy Wilder's new comedy"; "It happened in Climax, Nevada"; "Dino - he came to dinner..."; "Polly the Pistol - she stayed for breakfast..."; "Beethoven - he cooked up the whole mess..."; "MISSING: A girl's navel!"; "MISSING: A girl's navel - of great sentimental value.

Diamond"; "This picture is for adults only!") starring Dean Martin, Kim Novak, Ray Walston, Felicia Farr, and Cliff Osmond. Note that this film received a "condemned" rating by the Catholic Legion of Decency, as well as complaints from other groups, and United Artists chose to release it in the U.S. through their subsidiary Lopert Pictures. However, United Artists is still seen on movie paper printed prior to this decision. Also, note that filming began with Peter Sellers, but he suffered a heart attack and was replaced by Ray Walston NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this cool trade ad has a "pop-up" interior that forms a pair of lips and the title of the movie is within the lips. It also references Wilder's earliest three hits, "Some Like It Hot", "The Apartment", and "Irma La Douce", with images on the cover. From the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was removed from a yearbook or magazine. It can be framed and displayed (but many trade ads have different images on each side, so one must choose which side to display if it is framed!). Condition: good to very good. There are light brown stains around the edges of the pop-up (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
