Description
Original U.S. One-Sheet Poster Folded Fine Plus Theater Used
Original Columbia Pictures One-Sheet Poster, folded, for the Oscar Rudolph directed teen musical, DON'T KNOCK THE TWIST (1962) starring Chubby Checker, Gene Chandler, The Dovells, The Carroll Brothers, Vic Dana, Linda Scott, and Dee Dee Sharp. A harried television executive must put together an epic "Twist Spectacular" to beat a competing network and brings together some of the best pop musical talent of the day. Besides Checker's "twist" hits, there was Linda Scott's "Yessirree," Vic Dana's "Little Altar Boy," and especially Gene Chandler's "Duke of Earl." Chubby Checker was the stage name of Ernest Evans. Dick Clark's first wife, Barbara, suggested the name as a take-off on "Fats" Domino. This original one- sheet poster is folded and in fine plus condition. There are two small holes at the top of the poster from where it was pinned up. The poster was used in a theater in Canada and it has a Quebec Censor stamp. This is a rubber stamp which can easily be removed in restoration if desired. There are no fold separations and the color is good. MovieArt guarantees this poster to be the authentic one-sheet for this film. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin,Texas does not sell reproductions. Come on, Baby, let's do the twist.
