Date Sold 10/25/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Wardrobe Test Photo (Learn More) Howard Hawks' Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the classic 1953 Howard Hawks romantic musical son-of-rich-man-loves-beautiful-wacky-showgirl-and-his-father-does-everything-to-break-them-up comedy ("The two M-M-Marvels of our age in the wonder musical of the world!"; "Based on the musical Comedy by Joseph Fields and Anita Loos"; "Music and Lyrics by Jule Styne and Leo Robin"; "Presented on the Stage by Herman Levin and Oliver Smith") starring Jane Russell (as Dorothy Shaw), Marilyn Monroe (as Lorelei Lee), Charles Coburn (as Sir Francis 'Piggy' Beekman), Elliot Reid, Tommy Noonan, George Winslow (the little boy with the super deep voice, billed as "George 'Foghorn' Winslow"), Marcel Dalio, Taylor Holmes, Norma Varden, Howard Wendell, and Steven Geray NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a test photo (w. costume designer William Travilla) used to show one of the many costumes that Marilyn Monroe wore during this movie (the stars would put on each costume and stand next to a board with the details of when that costume was used in the movie, and then they would try on a different one and repeat the process, until they had tried on all their costumes; I wonder if major stars of today have to endure this same ritual?). We previously auctioned a wardrobe test photo from this movie with Marilyn wearing a far less sexy outfit, and that sold for $193! Condition: good to very good. There are faint creases and scuffs scattered throughout the still, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. There are some tiny dot stains in the background to the right of Marilyn and above the man's head. There are two black crop marks in each blank corner. Learn More about condition grades
