An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-Release Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Poster (1p; measures 47 1/4" x 63" [120 x 160 cm]) (Learn More) Bus Stop, the 1956 Joshua Logan Phoenix Arizona romantic comedy ("The coming of age of Bo Decker... And the girl who made him a man!"; "Give this cowboy enough rope and he'll land Marilyn Monroe"; "You got an idea a woman should be treated like an animal!"; "Based on the stage play by William Inge"; about a cowboy who meets a beautiful showgirl, and has the fantasy that she will go to his ranch to live with him, so that she can escape her tawdry life, but she has other ideas) starring Marilyn Monroe, Don Murray (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; billed as "Introducing Hollywood's newest hunk of man"), Arthur O'Connell, Betty Field, Hope Lange, Robert Bray, Eileen Heckart, and Henry Slate. Note that this film had been intended to star Elvis and Marilyn but Elvis' manager prevented this from happening, and that Don Murray, who was a success on Broadway, but was yet to make his first movie, stepped in to Elvis' shoes! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is from a 1960s re-release of this movie. The movie was then re-released in France in the 1980s, and the exact same art was used, but with less color (and they had forgotten Marilyn's mole in the 1960s poster, and it was added in the 1980s poster!), and slight differences in the very bottom, where printer information was added. We have auctioned many posters from that 1980s re-release, but know that this is the far more rare 1960s re-release (we have only previously auctioned three examples of it, and only one in the last 11 years)!

The poster had some darkening on the folds, but was otherwise in pretty nice condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
