An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked 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!

The poster had a partial extra vertical fold at a slight diagonal to the regular vertical fold between the top and bottom crossfolds. It had separation and small tears scattered on parts of several folds. It had tears in the bottom quarter of the vertical fold, with paper loss in between the "O" of "P" of "SCOPE" and in the background area below it. It had paper tape on the back of the top 8" of the vertical fold, another piece on the back of the 4" of the vertical fold that fell between the bottom right of Monroe's hair and the top of her shoulder, and on the back of the right 3" of the middle horizontal fold, and it had bled through to the front. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Given the poster's significant defects described above, the restorer did a nice job backing the poster, but look closely at our super-sized image and bear in mind the restoration prior to bidding on it.
