An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Argentinean Movie Poster (measures approximately 29" x 43") (Learn More) Let's Make Love, the 1960 George Cukor musical romantic mistaken identity comedy ("It's all about what you can't get enough of! [Fun! Joy! Laughter! And Love! Love! Love!]"; "Meet that man Montand! He's dedicated to the new Monroe Doctrine!"; "Written for the screen by Norman Krasna"; produced by Jerry Wald; about a billionaire who learns that he is going to be parodied in a stage play, and he pretends to be an actor so he can learn what the play is about, and while doing so, he falls in love with the beautiful star) starring Marilyn Monroe, Yves Montand, Tony Randall, Frankie Vaughan, Joe Besser, Wilfrid Hyde-White, and David Burns. Note that Gregory Peck was originally cast as the lead in this movie, but Marilyn Monroe's then-husband, Arthur Miller, re-wrote the script so that she had a bigger role, and that caused Peck to leave. The studio tried to hire Rock Hudson, but couldn't get him, and then they got Yves Montand, who was Marilyn Monroe's pick. That was especially unfortunate and ironic, because Monroe had an affair with him during the filming of the movie (after unsuccessfully attempting to have one with Frankie Vaughan).

Important Added Info: This Argentinean poster measures approximately 29" x 43" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had a thin line of paper loss in the middle of the middle foldline, which falls in the upper lip of the central image of Monroe. There was a 12" horizontal tear running from the middle of the right border through Monroe's outstretched hand into the "A" of "PECADORA". Other than the above defects, the poster was in nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks good! Learn More about condition grades
