Date Sold 6/8/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 5 Undated (probably 1990s) Re-Release Theatrical Mexican Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 12 3/4" x 17" [32 x 43 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: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that these are NOT regular Mexican lobby cards. They are printed on a different paper stock and are generally in much better condition and much "newer" looking than regular Mexican lobby cards (and the inset images on each card is almost always a great scene!). The ones that have surfaced are also all from "better" movies (many classic movies), and there are only five cards or seven cards in each set. Therefore, we believe that they were almost surely created in the 1990s or after, and likely were sold directly to non-collectors (similar to Portal Publications commercial reprints in the U.S.). However, it is also possible that they were used when these classic movies were shown in theaters, but almost surely in the 1990s or after. DO NOT BID ON THESE THINKING THEY ARE FROM WHEN THE MOVIES CAME OUT! Also note that these Mexican lobby cards include art by famed illustrator Al Hirschfeld. He was hired to create some great art of the top three characters, and it WAS included in the U.S. pressbook, but not on any of the U.S. posters we are aware of. Note that these Mexican lobby cards measure 12 3/4" x 17" [32 x 43 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
