An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures approximately 47" x 63" [119 x 160 cm]) (Learn More) Some Like It Hot, the classic 1959 Billy Wilder (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) romantic musical cross-dressing drag crime comedy ("Hot!!!"; about two out of work musicians who happen to witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago, and they need to leave town in a hurry, but the only jobs they can get is with an all-girl band, and they dress in drag, and one of the band members is Marilyn Monroe!) starring Marilyn Monroe ("and her bosom companions"), Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), George Raft, Pat O'Brien, and Joe E. Brown (the great star of 1920s and 1930s slapstick comedy, who practically steals this movie with a wonderful comic performance and an unforgettable final line!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: d'apres Boris Grinsson Important Added Info: Note that this poster is NOT the extremely rare very first release French one-panel poster for this classic movie, but rather a 1960s re-release. This poster has art that is not signed Grinsson (as the first release is), but it is instead signed "d'apres Grinsson" (in the style of Grinsson), so we feel certain that this poster comes from an early re-release (or perhaps simply that a second poster was created once the movie proved so popular). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 the crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. It had darkening on the folds and the extreme outer edges of the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer left alone the darkening described above.
