An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Lobby Card #8 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Prince and the Showgirl, the 1957 Laurence Olivier English/U.S. romantic rich-man-poor-beautiful-girl comedy ("There's only one Marilyn Monroe but there isn't one Marilyn Monroe picture that teases and tickles like Marilyn Monroe starring with Laurence Olivier in Warner Bros.' 'The Prince and the Showgirl'"; "Some countries have a medal for Everything"; "A Film by Marilyn Monroe Pictures Inc."; "Screen Play by Terence Rattigan"; about a showgirl in a mythical European country, who causes scandal when a prince tries to seduce her) starring Marilyn Monroe (in the title role as Elsie), Laurence Olivier (in the title role as the Prince Regent), Sybil Thorndike, Richard Wattis, David Horne, Jeremy Spenser, Jean Kent, Vera Day, and Margot Lister NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there are many people (myself included!) who consider this the best single image of Marilyn Monroe (I guess a close competitor would be the skirt-blowing image of Marilyn from "The Seven Year Itch"!). Note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original lobby card (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had paper loss in the bottom right corner that affected most of the "irl" at the end of the title and the text and NSS number beneath it. It also had pinholes, tears, and paper loss in the rest of the borders, but not as much. There were some stain scattered throughout the card. Overall, the lobby card was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. A talented restorer did a pretty nice job with the card, given its significant defects, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Please do not bid unless you can accept the substantial restoration this card has had, and look closely at our super-sized images. Learn More about condition grades
