The TELEPHONE BOOK (1971) - HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE: DIALING UP IN MOVIE POSTERS (Part 1/20)

For those of you remember dialing up on phones, prior to the arrival of hand held mobile phones (with antennas or digital), you may reminisce about the times when your fingers got stuck in the often crumb-filled dials, when you missed a number having to redial tens of times before finally getting the tone, etc. Holding the phone close to the ear, twisted cord in hand, provided us all with many sensations and feelings ranging from the frantic to the sensual, mysterious and sometimes eerie as we imagine the other person on the phone only led by the opposing voices....Well the movie posters perfectly captured all those feelings!

I have gathered 20 movie posters from all around the world in this THIS WEEK'S BLOG featuring the magic bakelite device as the artful centerpiece, offering images which are either comical, thrilling, iconic, sensual and erotic!

We start with a fabulous image / design created for the 1971 sex comedy The Telephone Book with one of the greatest posters featuring a telephone.
