It (the movie) was actually released in the USA in the winter of 1959

The nude photos were taken around Christmas time.

“Black Orpheus” opened 12/1959.

I just checked the Chicago Tribune archives and while I don’t pay for articles, a search for “Black Orpheus” for the summer months of 1960, does come up with hits.

I think movies certainly did hang around in theaters for a much longer run time back then.
