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. Note that this film had been intended to star Elvis and Marilyn but Elvis' manager prevented this from happening, and that Don Murray, who was a success on Broadway, but was yet to make his first movie, stepped in to Elvis' shoes! 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 has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. There is rippling scattered in portions of the poster (see our image). There is a line of creases running through the center of the poster and there are a few tiny dot stains. This is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that much or most of the rippling can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
