Auction History Result e071 LET'S MAKE LOVE linen large German 33x47 movie poster '60 sexy Marilyn! Date Sold 12/5/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked German Movie Poster (measures 33 1/4" x 47 1/2") (Learn More) Let's Make Love, the 1960 George Cukor musical romantic mistaken identity comedy ("It's all about what you can't get enough of! [Fun! Joy! Laughter! And Love! Love! Love!]"; "Meet that man Montand! He's dedicated to the new Monroe Doctrine!"; "Written for the screen by Norman Krasna"; produced by Jerry Wald; about a billionaire who learns that he is going to be parodied in a stage play, and he pretends to be an actor so he can learn what the play is about, and while doing so, he falls in love with the beautiful star) starring Marilyn Monroe, Yves Montand, Tony Randall, Frankie Vaughan, Joe Besser, Wilfrid Hyde-White, and David Burns. Note that Gregory Peck was originally cast as the lead in this movie, but Marilyn Monroe's then-husband, Arthur Miller, re-wrote the script so that she had a bigger role, and that caused Peck to leave. The studio tried to hire Rock Hudson, but couldn't get him, and then they got Yves Montand, who was Marilyn Monroe's pick. That was especially unfortunate and ironic, because Monroe had an affair with him during the filming of the movie (after unsuccessfully attempting to have one with Frankie Vaughan).

The poster had surface paper loss along most foldlines and scattered smudges throughout the white background areas. There were creases and tears around the edges of the poster (extending into the "CUK" of "CUKOR" in the bottom right). The poster was not all that well linenbacked, as the fine surface paper loss on the foldlines is mostly visible, and there is paint restoration on the top of the right vertical foldline that is cracking. If I owned this poster, I would have a restorer attempt to perform additional restoration without re-backing the poster, or have the poster re-backed. Learn More about condition grades
