The Amorous Milkman (1975)
'The Amorous Milkman' is such a beautifully uninspired title, it sounds like it should be the literal English language translation of the name the film was released under in Austria or something

Is the Amorous Milkman the one where the film starts with him asleep, then he has a Rube Goldberg alarm clock contraption of a man having an erection that wakes him up and he goes off on his rounds?

One of the most widely reviled films in cinema history, and certainly one which most of its (now sadly deceased) participants would most likely have rather forgotten about, the Amorous Milkman - written and directed by Derren Nesbitt, who had made a bit of a name for himself playing villains, heavies and Gestapo officers, before an unsavoury domestic incident (see below) pole-axed his career - is a singularly depressing piece of work. Imagine if a low-brow, old-school, blue-collar comedian, whose regular gigs on the holiday camp / working men's club / end of the pier circuit had long since dried up, was asked to take a snapshot of his tortured, moribund soul, every last shred of human decency and sensitivity cruelly decimated by years of reducing all human experience to the level of a bawdy joke. My guess is that you'd get something very similar to this woeful offering.

From the moment the Amorous Milkman gets underway - with a shot of a novelty alarm clock which takes the shape of a little figure wanking under the covers of a doll-sized bed - you know exactly what you're in for. Subtle it isn't. Then the camera pulls back to reveal something at which the British sex comedy truly excelled, intentionally or not - capturing good old mid-seventies dinge and squalor. Our hero (Brendan Price) lives in a pokey bedsit straight out of an episode of Rising Damp, with a poster of the Incredible Hulk on the door. Even Marwood and Withnail would have drawn the line at spending a night in this hovel. You can practically smell the crinkly tissues stuffed under the bed. The outside world doesn't fare much better, either - all the exteriors seem to have been shot over the same wet, foggy and freezing week in January. This is one British film unlikely to cause ex-pats sunning themselves in the Costa Del Sol to feel even remotely homesick.
I think they're totally right about the dingy quality, and it's absolutely part of what is compelling about 70s British sex comedies, they always look kind of like William Friedkin's film version of The Birthday Party

No: Hirschfeld is elegant, composed - the opposite of this aesthetic. And has been commissioned there because of his deep association with theatre, contra a style developed by film posters ** plus Jack Davis ad work

Straying off topic but
https://i.imgur.com/fQlrXU0.jpg
Started considering how the "Amorous _________" could become the male version of the "Sexy __________" Halloween costume. O what to do if the Sexy Railroad Inspector meets the Amorous Engineer.
But then what about the whole identity of these descriptions. To put it crudely, I guess one of them is looking to score while the other is the one to be scored upon?
There's already plenty to say about the Sexy [Unsexy Profession] costume being exclusively marketed to women. What would be the differences if the Sexy/Amorous costumes were gender-reversed? What would be the wardrobe differences between a man wearing an Amorous Firefighter costume and a man wearing the Sexy Firefighter? I guess a woman's Sexy Mechanic costume would be something tight that an actual mechanic would never wear, but an Amorous Mechanic costume could just be a denim jumpsuit with the top two buttons unbuttoned?
So much to think about this Sunday morning. Probably why I don't go to Mass anymore.

Ha, that's great! Tho I just watched the documentary, and the poster doesn't really fit its style at all. I guess because most of the events it depicts are set in the 60s and 70s, they wanted to do a homage to posters of the era?

I feel like "things drawn by Jack Davis" (although obviously he is the king of this style) is sorta a different thread
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 17:55 (five years ago) link
i think this one counts though - title track from the movie, and i believe the drawing is meant to play up associations with the film, which does involve the transportation of an elephant in a truck. almost feels like it might have begun as rejected art for the film's poster, and they just whited out burt reynolds, sally field, jackie gleason, and iconic representations of other episodes in the film.
