Auction History Result 4p023 LOVE HAPPY 1sh R53 Marx Brothers, the picture that discovered sexy Marilyn Monroe! Date Sold 12/15/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1953 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Love Happy, the 1949 David Miller musical screwball comedy ("New Musical Girlesque!!!"; "Their Newest! Funniest! Musical!") starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho, Chico, and Harpo), Ilona Massey ("Screendom's most beautiful blonde!"), Vera-Ellen ("Thrills in the torrid 'Sadie Thompson' dance!"), Marion Hutton ("She swings with the strings of your heart!"), Raymond Burr, Melville Cooper, Leon Belasco, Paul Valentine, Eric Blore, Bruce Gordon, Otto Waldis, and Marilyn Monroe (in only her second credited movie role!). What is remarkable is that the people who designed the posters put pictures of three pretty girls on them, but did not manage to make Marilyn Monroe one of them, surely a major blunder. She WAS pictured on one of the lobby cards, but that seems to have been almost by chance! I know this was because she was unknown at the time, but I would think they would have recognized her obvious assets! 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 when this movie was re-released in 1953, Marilyn Monroe had become the world's greatest sex symbol, and so she was prominently pictured and credited on the posters (the U.S. poster read: "The Picture That Discovered MARILYN MONROE"), even though she had a small part, and had not been credited or pictured on the original release posters! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time and it has an extra vertical fold 1" to the left of the regular one. There are tiny staple holes around the edges and in the center of the poster. The bottom 2" was folded back at one time. There are some smudges and faint stains around the edges. and some surface paper loss on the back of the poster where tape was removed.
