Original Columbia Pictures Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the Oscar Rudolph musical, DON’T KNOCK THE TWIST (1962) starring Chubby Checker, Gene Chandler, The Dovells, The Carroll Brothers, Vic Dana, Linda Scott, and Dee Dee Sharp. A harried television executive must put together an epic “Twist Spectacular” to beat a competing network and brings together some of the best pop musical talent of the day. Besides Checker’s “twist” hits, there was Linda Scott’s “Yessirree,” Vic Dana’s “Little Altar Boy,” and especially Gene Chandler’s “Duke of Earl.” Chubby Checker was the stage name of Ernest Evans. Dick Clark’s first wife, Barbara, suggested the name as a take-off on “Fats” Domino. This original three sheet poster is folded and in fine condition—with some small distresses, a small tar in the top section, and some staple holes. There are no fold separations and the color is good.
