This is a 14" x 36" US insert poster for the 1965 Billy Wilder
film Kiss Me Stupid from a screenplay by Billy Wilder and
I.A.L. Diamond based on a play by Anna Bonacci and starring Dean
Martin as Dino. Plot summary: In an unexpected detour the pop singer
Dino finds himself in Climax Nevada, where he meets a pair of amateur
songwriters Barney Milsap [Cliff Osmond] and Orville J. Spooner [Ray
Walston]. The two invent a reason to keep Dino in town for a night so
they can try to sell him some of their songs. Orville invites Dino to
stay over with him and his wife Zelda [Felicia Farr]. Being
compulsively possessive and jealous, Orville has second thoughts
because he fears Dino will try to seduce Zelda, so he drives her out
for the night and brings in a prostitute from the Belly Button Road
House named Polly the Pistol [Kim Novak] to pose as his wife. In a
bizarre turn of events, that night the fickle Orville tosses Dino out
so he can sleep with Polly, who has also fallen for the idea of being
a married woman even if just for a night. Dino goes to the Belly
Button and meets Zelda, now a temporary occupant of Polly's trailer.
He thinks Zelda is Polly and finds it easy to seduce her because she
is already a fan; she also sells him one of Orville's songs.
