Auction History Result 3c195 MISFITS style Y 40x60 '61 Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, John Huston, rare! Date Sold 12/3/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style Y Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this style Y 40x60 is more rare than the style Z 40x60, but both posters are quite rare! We have only auctioned this style Y poster once before and that was 22 years ago! Condition: very good. The poster has some faint smudges scattered in the white background areas, with a few faint dot stains. There is a 1" tear near the center of the top border and some minor wear in the other borders, with a diagonal crease and a tiny tear in the bottom left corner. There is a small sticker on the back of the bottom right corner that says the title, but it does not affect the front. I would say this poster has probably survived as well as one could have expected after 54 years! Learn More about condition grades
