An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Howard Hawks' Monkey Business (released in some countries as "Darling I'm Growing Younger", because apparently "Monkey Business" meant nothing in other countries!), the 1952 Howard Hawks fantasy Fountain-of-Youth screwball comedy ("This is Monkey Business... And this is Monkey Business and this is Monkey Business... And of course this is Monkey Business... And thereby hangs a tale!"; "Monkey Business is some fun!"; "Story by Harry Segall"; "Screen Play by Ben Hecht, Charles Lederer and I.A.L. Diamond"; a truly wacky story of an inventor trying to find a "youth serum", and he experiments on chimps, and one of the chimps escapes and manages to create the serum, which the scientist then accidentally takes, and he becomes like a teenager, and then so does his wife!) starring Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Charles Coburn, Marilyn Monroe (in a small role as a sexy secretary hired by the now "youthful" Cary Grant), Hugh Marlowe, Henri Letondal, Robert Cornthwaite, Larry Keating, Douglas Spencer, Esther Dale, and George Winslow. Note that after Marilyn Monroe's great success at the start of the 1950s, 20th Century-Fox, who had her under contract, wisely found small parts for her in lots of their movies in 1951 and 1952! Also, note that there is a Marx Bros. movie from 1931 called "Monkey Business", but it has nothing to do with this movie. 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 this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. There is paper loss in the upper right blank border. There was a long tear in the lower right border that has paper tape on the back. There are other creases and tears around the edges, some with tape on the back. There are a few creases and smudges in the image. Learn More about condition grades
