Auction History Result 9p797 SOME LIKE IT HOT 1sh 1959 sexy Marilyn Monroe with Tony Curtis & Jack Lemmon in drag! Date Sold 9/25/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 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 are two different "original" versions of this one-sheet. They are incredibly similar, EXCEPT one has a 1959 copyright date in the lower left corner, and the other has a 1960 copyright date. That second version has slightly smaller type in the bottom copyright information than the 1959 version, and the words "All Rights Reserved" have been inserted to the left of "Country of Origin U.S.A." LOOKING VERY CLOSELY AT THE TWO POSTERS, IT SEEMS VERY CLEAR THAT THE PRINTING QUALITY OF THE TWO POSTERS IS INCREDIBLY SIMILAR. However, we are certain there are some collector "purists" who would only want the "1959" version and not the "1960" version, so know that THIS poster is the one with the 1959 copyright date (in case you prefer owning that version!). Condition: fair to good. The poster has tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. It has a 6" vertical crease to the right of the vertical foldline just above the bottom crossfold. It has multiple pinholes in the corners and water staining in the lower left of the image and some scattered, smaller stains around the edges. It has paper loss at the bottom of the "N" of "MONROE" at top center and fine surface paper loss on part of the vertical fold. It has small paper loss in the bottom right corner. Obviously the poster has really significant defects, but it certainly can be "rescued" through linenbacking. But bear in mind its defects and look at our super-size image before bidding on it.
