One sheet rare original British double-bill movie poster from 1966, featuring the films
Batman and The Man Called Flintstone. These two films were shown as a double feature in British cinemas.
Batman (1966)
This film is the first full-length theatrical adaptation of the DC Comics character and a spin-off of the popular 1960s television series. It features the show's cast, including Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin.
Plot: The Dynamic Duo battle the united forces of four major villains: the Joker (Cesar Romero), the Penguin (Burgess Meredith), the Riddler (Frank Gorshin), and Catwoman (Lee Meriwether). The villains plot to use a dehydrator to turn the United Nations Security Council members into dust and hold them for ransom.
Style: The film is known for its campy, light-hearted tone and pop-art visuals, featuring on-screen exclamations like "POW!" during fight scenes.
The Man Called Flintstone (1966)
This is an animated musical spy-comedy film produced by Hanna-Barbera, serving as a theatrical spin-off and "swan song" to The Flintstones television series. The plot is a parody of the popular James Bond spy films of the era.
Plot: Fred Flintstone is enlisted by the secret service to replace an injured look-alike secret agent named Rock Slag (a parody of Our Man Flint) to stop the villainous "Green Goose" from using a destructive missile. Fred's mission takes him and his friends to international locations like "Eurock," Paris, and Rome.
