About Books Exploitation Film Posters: Exploitation: Sex, remedies, misdemeanour, Black power, alternative culture and, of course, rock and roll: these are just some of the topics, which have attracted the attention of the cinema’s bottom-feeders over the past eighty years. A few of the resulting movies have become cult classics, but most were simply tacky – few would probably now want to sit through two hours of High School Hellcats( 1958) or Hot Rod Rumble( 1957 ). The signs developed to promote them, on the other hand, are wonderful period segments that vividly provoke the social fears, desires and inhibitions of archaic eras. Up until the introduction of the Hayes Code in 1934 Hollywood had few inhibitions; the advertisement for Girl Without A Room( 1933 ), for example, left audiences in little doubt as to how the young lady planned to find accommodation. Later in the decade, it became necessary to adopt the aged tabloid deception of supposing that stimulating content had a redeeming social content – thus the producers of Marihuana( 1936) were obliged to present it as a advice about the dangers of drug addiction. In the 1950 s, it was the Beat and juvenile delinquent who kept a wintry into middle-class centers – and, of course, enticed middle-class kids to the drive-in screens. Then, in the 60 s and 70 s, came’ Blaxploitation’ movies like Shaft, Russ Meyer’s mammary-obsessed epics like Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill, and even an animated sexploitation storey, Fritz The Cat. The advertisements for these films, from Alberto Vargas’ artwork for Noblewoman They Talk About( 1933) to Alan Aldridge’s photomontage for Warhol’s Chelsea Girls( 1966 ), are masterpieces of visual implication, give, in most cases, far more that the movies actually delivered.
