A relatively early use of Charleston (1967) on the original movie poster for Les chemins de Katmandou (1969).
Also known as The Road to Katmandu and released in English as The Pleasure Pit, the French-Italian drama was written in tandem with René Barjavel’s novel of the same name. Directed by André Cayatte, it stars Renaud Verley, Elsa Martinelli, Jane Birkin, and Serge Gainsbourg. The music is by Gainsbourg, too.
Apart from the title, all text is set with vertical stretching, suggesting that a phototype adaptation was already available at the time.
