If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this 1962 re-release one-sheet, and the last one was 10 years ago! Note that when this movie was made, Marilyn Monroe was still pretty much unknown, and she was 4th billed, and given a sexy image on the posters, just because of how sexy she was! When the movie was re-released in 1962, a tagline was added under her image that said "Marilyn Monroe, the 'Asphalt Jungle' girl!", but otherwise, she was not promoted any differently than she had been in 1951.
