Auction History Result 3j0639 LOVE HAPPY linen Moroccan 1950s sexy Marilyn Monroe bigger than Groucho, Harpo, & Chico Marx! Date Sold 12/20/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1950s (from the first release of this movie in Morocco) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Moroccan Movie Poster (measures 29 1/2" x 41 1/4" [75 x 105 cm]) (Learn More) Love Happy, the 1949 David Miller musical screwball comedy ("New Musical Girlesque!!!"; "Their Newest! Funniest! Musical!") starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho, Chico, and Harpo), Ilona Massey ("Screendom's most beautiful blonde!"), Vera-Ellen ("Thrills in the torrid 'Sadie Thompson' dance!"), Marion Hutton ("She swings with the strings of your heart!"), Raymond Burr, Melville Cooper, Leon Belasco, Paul Valentine, Eric Blore, Bruce Gordon, Otto Waldis, and Marilyn Monroe (in only her second credited movie role!). What is remarkable is that the people who designed the posters put pictures of three pretty girls on them, but did not manage to make Marilyn Monroe one of them, surely a major blunder. She WAS pictured on one of the lobby cards, but that seems to have been almost by chance! I know this was because she was unknown at the time, but I would think they would have recognized her obvious assets! 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 we have only previously auctioned three examples of this Moroccan poster, which is clearly from after Marilyn Monroe shot to fame, but as far as we know, it is from the first Moroccan release. If anyone knows more about this, or the exact date of the poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking?
