Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 14, Week 11

As several of you noted, though there's nothing wrong with Uma Thurman, there's really only one Ulla, and that's Lee Meredith. That's her in yellow, Max Bialystock's "toy" about to go to "work" in Mel Brook's comic masterpiece, The Producers. The film was a staple on Channel 9 (WWOR) in the 70s, and I'm pretty sure I caught every airing. (Ah the days before VHS...) A question for fans of Ms. Meredith -- how many of you remember this commercial, in which she appeared with Mickey Spillane? Certainly takes me back... Just a few more shopping days until what's-his-name's birthday, and as usual I'm far from prepared. Between end-of-year polls, last-minute issues surrounding the Quiet City/Dance Party, USA DVD, various holiday parties, and obsessing over There Will Be Blood, there's been little time for anything else. It's going to be busy the next few days...ugh. This week, a film with so many potential shots for a quiz, it was hard to choose just one. Easy? Hard? I'm not so sure. Name the film. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck, and have a very happy holiday!

If the date given is correct, I was a couple months shy of three years old when that commercial aired, but yes, I do remember it. Specifically, the "commercial like this" line which I couldn't quite wrap my head around at the time, but which I think kind of appealed to me phonetically. I also think I remember when I first heard the line "What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?" complaining that they'd gotten it wrong.

I know I've seen this shot, but I'll be damned if I can remember where it's from.
