And the girl who made him a man!"; "Give this cowboy enough rope and he'll land Marilyn Monroe"; "You got an idea a woman should be treated like an animal!"; "Based on the stage play by William Inge"; about a cowboy who meets a beautiful showgirl, and has the fantasy that she will go to his ranch to live with him, so that she can escape her tawdry life, but she has other ideas) starring Marilyn Monroe, Don Murray (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; billed as "Introducing Hollywood's newest hunk of man"), Arthur O'Connell, Betty Field, Hope Lange, Robert Bray, Eileen Heckart, and Henry Slate.

Important Added Info: Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Marilyn Monroe". Condition: good to very good. There is some separation in the upper crossfold and there are some light creases above that crossfold. There are some small, light creases along parts of the lower crossfold. It is otherwise in pretty good condition and if after a simple linenbacking the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
