This is a special treat. This amazing poster belongs to my girlfriend Aline, who lent it to me for scanning and touchup. Her copy has a bad tear down the middle, as well as other defects, but I fixed it up pretty decently, I think.

This is “El fantástico mundo de los hippies“, a 1972 movie that’s the only example I’ve seen of Mexican hippiesploitation. The poster is pure exploitation, the stuff the genre is made of. Check out the breathless descriptions, as well as the priceless addition to the cast in the bottom right corner. Also, I don’t know if it can be seen, but the plot seems to involve some straight-laced detectives or something solving murders amongst the hippies, judging from one of the photos… I’ve added translations for the texts, have a look.
