Toys in the Attic Plays With Fire!

The tagline for this movie is "Toys in the Attic Plays With Fire!" I didn't understand the meaning of that phrase in 1963 and 53 years later I still don't know what it means. Can someone in the know explain it?

It deals with the more scandalous facets of human nature: greed, dishonesty, jealousy, incest, self-delusion.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Coupled with that ridiculous poster of Dean Martin slapping the daylights out of Yvette Mimieux! Horrible!

Yeah, if I were Martin, I certainly wouldn't want the poster to be an out-of-context image of him slapping the hell out of a woman.

Plus, they got it wrong. Since this is the south, it should be: "...Plays with Fie-ah!" ;-)
