An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French Movie Poster (measures 15 3/4" x 31 3/4" [40 x 81 cm]) (Learn More) The Misfits, the 1961 John Huston modern-day romantic cowboy western ("It shouts and sings with life... explodes with love!"; "Never again will the screen hold such excitement!"; "The world's greatest photographers shoot 'the Misfits'!"; with a screenplay by Arthur Miller) starring Clark Gable (in his last film), Marilyn Monroe (in her last completed film), Montgomery Clift, Thelma Ritter, Eli Wallach, and James Barton (in his last film). Note that Arthur Miller was at the time married to Monroe, but the marriage fell apart during filming. He began to see Inge Morath, a photographer documenting production of this film, and she later became his third and final wife. Also note that Clark Gable went on a crash diet before production started, losing 35 pounds. His health was already precarious, and he hated working with Marilyn Monroe, who could not remember her lines and did not show up on time, which aggravated his condition, and he suffered from a coronary thrombosis the day after shooting finished, dying ten days later. He was 59. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Boris Grinsson Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this French poster, and that was 13 years ago. That poster has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! What IS linenbacking?

The poster had a 1" vertical tear in the right of the top foldline (in Clift's cheek), and a matching tear in the right of the bottom foldline. It had pinholes in the corners and minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
