Auction History Result 7m031 SEVEN YEAR ITCH 1sh 1955 Billy Wilder, great art of sexy Marilyn Monroe w/shoes by Tom Ewell Date Sold 6/18/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Seven Year Itch, the classic 1955 Billy Wilder married-man-with-roving-eye romantic comedy ("It's the stage riot that rocked New York for 3 years!"; "Based upon an original Play 'The Seven Year Itch' by George Axelrod"; the movie that features the famous scene where Marilyn is standing over the grating as her dress flies up around her legs; the entire movie was very sensational in its day!) starring Marilyn Monroe, Tom Ewell, Evelyn Keyes, Sonny Tufts, Robert Strauss, Oscar Homolka, Marguerite Chapman, Victor Moore (as the plumber; in his final movie role), Dolores Rosedale (billed as "Roxanne"), and Carolyn Jones. Note that the image of Marilyn Monroe with her skirt blowing up is rightfully the most remembered image of Marilyn from any of her movies. But this movie also has the memorable scene which was extremely risque for its time, where a naked Marilyn in a bubble bath gets her toe caught in the faucet and a plumber must free her! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster is slightly rippled and slightly discolored in the top half. The left and right 4" of the poster were folded back at one time. There is 1 1/2" of separation at the top of the vertical fold and 1" of separation at the bottom. There is 2" of horizontal separation at the center of the middle fold and 1/2" of separation at the middle of the bottom fold, with very tiny paper loss at each crossfold. There are a few extra creases, tiny bits of surface paper loss, and a tiny bit of paper loss in the bottom horizontal fold. There is a small piece of tape on the back of the bottom left of the poster that was not put there for a restoration purpose. I detail all of these defects in such length because this is a valuable poster, but after a simple linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look fantastic and likely require very little paint restoration.
