An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 47" x 62 3/4" [119 x 159 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. Artist: d'apres Boris Grinsson Important Added Info: Note that we have been told that this poster is NOT the extremely rare very first release French one-panel poster for this classic movie, but rather a 1960s re-release. There is another French one-panel poster with different art that has the same printer information, but written in a different font, and that poster has art of Lemmon and Curtis holding Marilyn between them, and the art is signed "Grinsson" (we have never auctioned it, but we have seen an image of it). But THIS poster has art that is not signed Grinsson, but it is instead signed "d'apres Grinsson" (in the style of Grinsson), so we think this poster comes from an early re-release (or perhaps simply that a second poster was created once the movie proved so popular). If anyone knows more about these posters, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some separation and slight darkening on parts of some foldlines. There was paper loss in the bottom right blank corner and some minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed. At some point after it was backed, the bottom left corner was creased diagonally, which put a crease into the very tip of the bottom left corner of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
