Sam the man

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.)

The Devil’s Hand

The Theme from “The Devil’s Hand” Original Soundtrack on Chess Records.   (1962)

A beside-the-point Batman connection:   Neil Hamilton (the ironic police commissioner in the BATMAN TV show) is highly amusing here as Mr. Lamont, a bloodthirsty devil figure extraordinaire. He runs a creepy doll shop during the day, but holds satanic blood rituals in the back room at night!
