Man Bait Card Set - NO Box

MAN BAIT Card Set (1992). (NO BOX)

Pop culture historian Mike Barson (Lost, Lonely and Vicious) assembled this card set from a vintage collection of "tough girl" lobby cards. There really was a film called Man Bait, starring Diana Dors (changed from her unfortunate given name, Diana Fluck), who was known as "England's answer to Marilyn Monroe." Barson's wry wit and research (he's evidently seen all these classics) brings these obscure B-movies to life and the wild lobby cards scream "high camp." Among the more memorable titles are Bad Blonde with Barbara Payton; Born to be Bad (Joan Fontaine); Untamed Youth (starring Mamie Van Doren, "the girl built like a platinum powerhouse"); Playgirl (starring a then-svelte Shelly Winters); It's a Man Trap and She's the Bait (Cleo Moore); Female Jungle (Jayne Mansfield); Women's Prison (Ida Lupino); Prehistoric Women (featuring "Primitive Passions!"); Blonde Bait; Blonde Alibi (Martha O'Driscoll); Under Age; Three Bad Sisters ("One got what she wanted with her looks; One got what she wanted with a whip; One got what she wanted anyway she could!"); Pickup ("You Can 'Pick Up' This Girl, But You Won't if You Know What's Good For You!"); and its highly anticipated sequel, The Girl on the Bridge (announcing "That Pickup Girl is Back!").

These cards were originally published more than a decade ago as a boxed set by Kitchen Sink Press. What we are offering here is the full 36-card set from the first printing minus only the box. Long out of print and a bargain at $10.95
