Auction History Result 5p226 MISFITS linen German 33x47 '61 different Goetze art of Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable & Clift! Date Sold 3/3/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked German "A0" Movie Poster (33x47; measures 33" x 47" [84 x 119 cm]) (Learn More) The Misfits, the 1961 John Huston modern-day romantic cowboy western ("It shouts and sings with life... explodes with love!"; "Never again will the screen hold such excitement!"; "The world's greatest photographers shoot 'the Misfits'!"; with a screenplay by Arthur Miller) starring Clark Gable (in his last film), Marilyn Monroe (in her last completed film), Montgomery Clift, Thelma Ritter, Eli Wallach, and James Barton (in his last film). Note that Arthur Miller was at the time married to Monroe, but the marriage fell apart during filming. He began to see Inge Morath, a photographer documenting production of this film, and she later became his third and final wife. Also note that Clark Gable went on a crash diet before production started, losing 35 pounds. His health was already precarious, and he hated working with Marilyn Monroe, who could not remember her lines and did not show up on time, which aggravated his condition, and he suffered from a coronary thrombosis the day after shooting finished, dying ten days later. He was 59. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Rolf Goetze Important Added Info: Note that the entire U.S. ad campaign for this movie had black and white photographic images. This German poster, which we have never auctioned before, has great full color art of these three wonderful stars! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at just a few crossfolds and a very few creases, scuffs, and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! After the poster was backed, it was slightly roughly handled, and there is now a 6" vertical crease in the left of the bottom border going through the center of the words "ARTHUR" and "FRANK". It is both in the poster and in the linen. It is not all that noticeable or distracting, but bear this in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
