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.)
