Sammy Davis Jr. “Sale e Pepe” “SUPER-SPIE HIPPY!” United Artists. An Italian picture sleeve for the soundtrack to the movie “Salt and Pepper” from 1968. Sammy co-stars with Peter Lawford. Directed by Richard Donner (who went on to make bigger action adventure movies like “Lethal Weapon” and “Superman” and “Sara T. Portrait of a Teenage Alchoholic”). The movie’s tag line: ” They held the fate of the world in their hands — and dropped it!” (Sounds promising — it’s not, But the illustration is straight outta ’68 and the Italian subtitle pretty much says it all.)
