the same director did a film called 'My Demon Lover' (imdb synopsis "A homeless street musician becomes a demon when sexually aroused") which would have totally had one of these posters if came out a few years earlier, but sadly it was released in 1987 so the poster looked like this:

the German poster is a little more like it, but it's still clear that the golden age was over

Good one, classic homage to the aesthetic. I hadn't realized Christopher Lloyd was still working, and then I looked at his wikipedia and holy shit he works a lot! 9 movies just in the last 3 years, though I will not be investigating their quality

What he does not know is that his wife is as attracted to the Jaguar salesman as he is to the car. The wife and lover experience penis captivus in the car after a reckless accident.
