post movie posters done in a busy/claustrophobic caricature style from the 70s and 80s

Herb Edelman!

reads "She's the pop-top princess with the recyclable can" once and boggles at this gibberish

re-reads, salutes it as the second-greatest tagline ever

Edelman is not known to me, so I was assuming their biggest casting "get" was Carol Bagdasarian, the daughter of Chipmunks creator and vocalist Ross. Apparently she made a decent go of it as a 70s TV actress, with an appearance on Harry O and seemingly five different named roles on Mannix. Her biggest film parts seem to have been this Model T movie, a supporting role in the Chuck Norris vehicle The Octagon, and a major role in a forgotten 1980s sci-fi movie called The Aurora Encounter.

Edelman was Dorothy's ex-husband Stanley on The Golden Girls.

He also did a ton of TV from the '60s-'90s, in addition to films like The Odd Couple and The Way We Were.

Great stuff, all, thanks!

Herb Edelman recently made an appearance on Character Actor Roll Call in the wake of his name brother Herb Vigran.

Louis Nye is one of those people who was reasonably famous to anyone born before 1970 or '75...and a blank to anyone born after.

OTM. He was one of those guys I only knew from talk or game shows featuring old school wits. It was on one of the former I saw him with Steve Allen answering the question “Do you shun the public?” and his response was “Well there was this one fellow who recognized me in a restaurant and came over and dropped his cigarette ash in my meal so I shunned him, but no, in general I don’t shun the public.” Little James Redd was sitting there in front of the Zenith thinking “dude, you are lucky at this stage to have a public.”

Louis Nye’s Wikipedia page pretty interesting.

Mrs. Pollifax--Spy, 1971

Prompted some discussion of Russell’s age last time it came up, sometime last year?

Ah yes, and this from Whiney:

They way they drew women on movie posters from like 1965 to 1989 is like America's hentai

Pollifax was Russell's last feature film. She did a TV movie the next year, and died in '76.

Speaking of Roz, this one hasn't been posted yet:

This has surely been posted, but text search isn't finding it, so for the record:

Some Kind of a Nut (1969)

good one! looks like a helluva film too.

apparently the plot is that Dick Van Dyke can't shave, due to a... mosquito bite I think? and this raises hackles at his mild-mannered job or whatever, and is the prompt for what seems like possibly a very limp, toothless sendup of hippie-era culture classes and the Generation Gap and so on.

Thought that was going to be the smoking one for a minute, what was that called, Cold Turkey, maybe? Probably somewhere upthread in a broken link already.

Ah, two years apart.

Feel like I've seen every Jack Davis poster and then another one pops up.

hueg new retro Licorice Pizza poster

did FFC lose like 100 pounds? I would never recognize him.

He's been getting into shape for insurance reasons so he make another film.

Sweet Lorraine, 1987

But with that cast, you might think 1986.

Wholly Moses! (1980)

Amazing cast on that one.

Not the only religious satire Richard Pryor cameoed in that year that had an illustrated poster

In God We Trust, 1980

There's an even better set of caricatured lobby cards for this one, but I can't find good scans.

Heartbeeps, 1981

Ack!

Feel like I should mention the art from that second In God We Trust is part of the lobby card set, which is done in the same style.
