{"product_id":"wild-bikini","title":"How to Fill a Wild Bikini","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis original 1965 Australian daybill was issued for \u003cem\u003eHow to Stuff a Wild Bikini\u003c\/em\u003e, released by American International Pictures and distributed locally by Paramount. The film premiered in 1965 as part of AIP’s established beach party cycle, which dominated youth driven comedy films in the mid 1960s. The poster uses illustrated figures and oversized typography to communicate tone and content directly to cinema audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe film stars Annette Funicello and Dwayne Hickman, with supporting appearances by Brian Donlevy, Mickey Rooney, and Buster Keaton. Directed by William Asher, the movie combined slapstick comedy with motorcycle racing sequences and musical interludes, following a formula that AIP had successfully refined throughout the decade. The Australian marketing closely mirrors the American campaign while adapting to the vertical daybill format used by local theaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAustralian daybills were printed in smaller quantities than U.S. one sheets and were designed specifically for narrow display spaces outside cinemas. This format contributes to their collectibility today. The poster reflects mid 1960s film advertising practices, where illustrated design and direct taglines were favored over photographic imagery, particularly for youth oriented releases. A strong example of international distribution material from the beach party film era!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30.0\" x 12.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Condition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
