An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (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 this poster, unlike all the rest of the posters in this auction, has never been linenbacked or paperbacked! It is completely unrestored (see our condition description below). We included it in this auction of all restored posters, because we have several other excellent Marilyn Monroe posters, including some half-sheets, and it made sense to include this poster with those. It also has never been folded. Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. There are two pieces of white paper tape on the back of the right side of the poster (one on the back of the center of the right border, and one 3" to the right of that), but neither were put there for any restoration purpose. There are creases and faint smudges around the edges of the poster and a tiny tear in the left of the top blank border. There are a very few small creases and tiny dot stains within the image, and some faint smudges in the white background. Other than the two pieces of tape described above (which were NOT for restoration!), the poster has no tape anywhere on the front or back, and is 100% not restored, and it has never been folded!
