Auction History Result 6a390 NIAGARA linen 1sh 1953 classic art of giant sexy Marilyn Monroe on famous waterfall + photo! Date Sold 4/29/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Niagara, the 1953 Henry Hathaway marital problems romantic melodrama ("Marilyn Monroe and 'Niagara' a raging torrent of emotion that even nature can't control!"; "Marilyn Monroe and Niagara, the high water mark in suspense"; set at the famous Niagara Falls waterfall in New York state and Canada; about two couples visiting the famous landmark, one on their honeymoon, and the other in a very disturbing relationship, which leads to a death, which may be murder) starring Marilyn Monroe, Joseph Cotten, Jean Peters, Casey Adams, Denis O'Dea, Richard Allan, Don Wilson, Lurene Tuttle, Russell Collins, and Will Wright. Note that Marilyn Monroe was given the lead in this movie, but she was not yet a major star. Her performance in this film, and the iconic gigantic image of her laying atop the famous waterfall with the water running over her body helped her career massively!

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss and smudges along parts of the folds. It had pinholes, tears, and some small paper loss around the edges, including in the top right corner, in the background area. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed onto linen with only the slightest attempt at restoration, and all of the above defects are clearly visible. In addition, after the poster was backed, it was roughly handled, which caused a 6" crease in the top center (at the top of Marilyn's dress and into the background to the left of it), and that caused a crease and separation in the poster, and a crease in the linen behind it. If I owned this poster, I would surely have it removed from the old linen and properly re-backed, and afterwards, it would display well, and it would not need very much restoration within the image area. But bear the above in mind and look at our super-sized image before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
