"Cheers, suggestion, incitement… and howls of enthusiasm
as you die of laughter"

This is a great piece of Mexican lobby card art, from the beautiful colors right on down to the pantless depiction of Doris Day in a heart-emblazoned pajama top.

The upper left hand corner features some cut’n'paste work, demonstrating that the bouffant hairdo of John Rait is unmatched in all of film history. That said, Day isn’t far behind, and the inset image on this card shows Carol Burnett in a scene from the film with what could only be called a ’soup bowl cut’.

Come for the movie, stay for the 1950’s equivalent of the mullet.
