An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Some Like It Hot, the classic 1959 Billy Wilder (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) romantic musical cross-dressing drag crime comedy ("Hot!!!"; about two out of work musicians who happen to witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago, and they need to leave town in a hurry, but the only jobs they can get is with an all-girl band, and they dress in drag, and one of the band members is Marilyn Monroe!) starring Marilyn Monroe ("and her bosom companions"), Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), George Raft, Pat O'Brien, and Joe E. Brown (the great star of 1920s and 1930s slapstick comedy, who practically steals this movie with a wonderful comic performance and an unforgettable final line!) 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 there is an oddity with this insert from this classic movie. For unknown reasons, it was created in two versions, one with a solid white background and one with a solid light yellow background, with slightly different placement of the central image and the credits. We have auctioned roughly an equal amount of each type, so they seem to be of equal rarity. It is possible that one was printed first, and then someone in the studio thought it could be improved, so they had it changed, but if so, no one knows which one came first! Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has a stamp on the back of the bottom left corner. It was sitting underneath another poster that had the same stamp and there is some ink transfer from the back of that poster to the bottom left of this poster. Fortunately it is solely in the bottom left blank corner and there are a few stains in the yellow background under Marilyn's foot and a few in O'Brien's credit. There are very few faint smudges around the edges. Other than these minor defects, which are of course easily corrected through paperbacking, the poster is in exceptional condition, and I would think many collectors would prefer to keep the poster in its completely unrestored condition, but that will be the choice of its new owner.
