What’s Up, Tiger Lily? (1966) Pressbook

I recall seeing Woody Allen on the Dick Cavett Show promoting this one. When Cavett asked him about the unique approach to the movie and asked if it would really sell, Allen replied he had a unique way to make money: he'd charge people to get out of the theater instead of into it.

Here's the movie in a nutshell (excerpted from Wikipedia): "Allen took a Japanese spy film, International Secret Police: Key of Keys, and overdubbed it with completely original dialogue that had nothing to do with the plot of the original film. By putting in new scenes and rearranging the order of existing scenes, he completely changed the tone of the film from a James Bond clone into a comedy about the search for the world's best egg salad recipe

Here's the theater herald for the shockumentary Mondo Cane. I see the entire movie is on YouTube now. When it first came out, the trailer for it made me squirm. Its success helped make this kind of mondo movie-making a good one for theaters to show.

I admit I only picked this up because of the big ape (the hairy one, not Clark Gable). Apes in jungle movies are cool. The newspaper-styled heralds handed out to promote movies were (and still are) cool, too. They were made of paper. You remember paper, don't you? The Planet of the Apes heralds are some of the best.

I love westerns, grew up with them on television and in the movies. Grew up with Buster Crabbe, too. He portrayed Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, in those serials that inspired Indiana Jones and breathtaking cinema. So…here you go, pardner.

Those Magnificent Men in
Their Flying Machines (1965)
Pressbook

Sure, that's right, the women don't count. Just the boys and their flying machines. This movie only recreates the Edwardian Age for Magnificent Men, and we all know women weren't magnificent or funny in the Edwardian Age, right? Yes, movies have come a long way indeed. But still fun once you get past the 1960s male-centric nature of it.
