Auction History Result 2z220 YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME 1sh '48 stone litho of Jeanne Crain kissing Big Bandleader Dan Dailey! Date Sold 12/8/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) You Were Meant For Me, the 1948 Lloyd Bacon Roaring Twenties romantic musical ("Jeanne Craine & Dan Dailey were meant for each other... In You Were Meant For Me"; "Original Screen Play by Elick Moll and Valentine Davies"; about a Big Band leader who meets a girl in one of the towns he is performing in, and they impulsively marry, but the 1929 Stock Market Crash makes life very difficult for them) starring Jeanne Crain ("['Margie']"), Dan Dailey ("[Mother Wore Tights]"), Oscar Levant, Barbara Lawrence, Selena Royle, Percy Killbride, and Herbert Anderson. Legend has it that Marilyn Monroe was cast in this movie in a very minor role. However, according to Sheila Graham, "her part ended on the cutting room floor", but there is a scene where a face which looks like Monroe's is among those reacting on a crowded dance floor! 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 included in our "Marilyn Monroe" section of folded one-sheets, because the collector who assembled this collection, Dominique Besson, wanted to include EVERY Monroe one-sheet, and since Monroe was rumored to have been in this (see above), he felt it deserved inclusion! Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Marilyn Monroe". Condition: very good. There are pinholes in the corners and very minor fold and border wear. Learn More about condition grades
