This is a poster from the very bad film "Under the Rainbow" (1981), which I saw as an 11-year-old kid at the Salem Valley 4 Cinema (now Salem Valley 8) in Salem, Va.
This was my third idea, but there were tech complications with images of "Stroker Ace" (1983) and "Yor: The Space Hunter."
Leonard Maltin called this film: an astoundingly unfunny and tasteless comedy.
The plot revolves spies, agents and midgets who stay in a hotel during the filming of "The Wizard of Oz."
It starred Chevy Chase and Carrie Fisher, both of whom had better luck with "Caddyshack" and "Star Wars." Fisher even publicly admitted that she hated the film. Nowadays, Chase can be seen doing Cola Turka commercials........I'll have to add a Youtube video of that one day!

UPDATE: I just checked. Sure enough, this is available on DVD.
CORRECTION: I gathered it was on DVD by checking the IMDB. A movie savvy friend of mine says that it in fact, the film is NOT on DVD as MGM apparently has yet to take it out of their vaults. But, there are plenty of bad Chevy Chase movies out there, like "Caddyshack II." And, some good ones as well like "Seems Like Old Times."
