The curved \u003cstrong\u003eBEDAZZLED\u003c\/strong\u003e logo and the handwritten-style speech-bubble copy add to the playful, psychedelic atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA particularly charming feature is the Japanese promotional line inside the white speech panel:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“私といっしょに悪いことしましョ！ みんないっしょに悪いことしましョ！”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(\u003cstrong\u003e“Let’s do something bad together!

The film has long enjoyed enduring cult status, and Japanese posters for such countercultural late-1960s imports are particularly sought after for their often far more vivid and inventive campaign artwork than their Western counterparts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis poster is especially appealing because it combines several highly collectible elements: \u003cstrong\u003eRaquel Welch\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e1960s psychedelic graphics\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBritish cult cinema\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003escarce original Japanese first-release format\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is over \u003cstrong\u003e58 years old\u003c\/strong\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent.\u003c\/strong\u003e A very attractive original example with strong, vivid colour and excellent overall presentation.
