Note that Marilyn Monroe was given the lead in this movie, but she was not yet a major star. Her performance in this film, and the iconic gigantic image of her laying atop the famous waterfall with the water running over her body helped her career massively!

We have only auctioned four in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has several pairs of staple holes and some smudges along portions of the blank borders. It has creases along the folds, with some small areas of surface paper loss along portions of the vertical foldline and in the right center horizontal fold. There is a 2 1/2" tear at center left that is backed with a white plastic tape, and there is a smaller tear at upper right that slightly extends into the image background.

The poster is overall in generally nice condition and despite the defects noted above it could certainly be displayed as is, but after paperbacking with some restoration the rare poster would display quite well!
