Merkins and Humppes

One of the oddest movie titles ever is Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? This 1969 film, directed by and starring Anthony Newley, was rated X on its initial release (sexy but not pornographic according to critics). I've always wanted to see this, but I've never run across it. After reading some summaries and given that it's Newley at the helm, it's probably very similar to his Stop the World I Want to Get Off, which was interesting but not nearly as charming or profound as Newley seemed to think it was. The first ad is from Columbus Ohio, 50 years ago this week; the second from Honoluly in August of '69.
