Note that Marilyn Monroe had a small role in this movie, early in her career, but as usual, she was noticed, and she appears on several of the posters! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that when this classic movie was released in the U.S., the distributors used sexy mostly unknown Marilyn Monroe's image on several of the advertising pieces, because they knew that "sex sells"! But apparently, the English distributor did not feel the same way, because she is absent from this first release British quad! Also note that this is one of seven British quads that were consigned to us by a man who has worked in the film industry for many years. A long time ago, he acquired these British quads when he worked with 20th Century-Fox, and he has kept them carefully stored for many years, which accounts for some of them being in wonderful condition (the condition varies, as can be seen by visiting the seven auctions)! Anyone who collects British quads knows how rare it is to find ones from the 1950s in any condition, and to find them in at all nice condition almost never happens. This is a rare opportunity to acquire these ultra scarce posters (which are in seven separate auctions)! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good to fine. There is tiny paper loss in the lower right blank corner of the poster and there are some tiny tears scattered around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty remarkable condition and it displays nicely! Learn More about condition grades
