Auction History Result 3d341 MONKEY BUSINESS linen 3sh '52 Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, sexy Marilyn Monroe, Charles Coburn Date Sold 12/6/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Howard Hawks' Monkey Business (released in some countries as "Darling I'm Growing Younger", because apparently "Monkey Business" meant nothing in other countries!), the 1952 Howard Hawks fantasy Fountain-of-Youth screwball comedy ("This is Monkey Business... And this is Monkey Business and this is Monkey Business... And of course this is Monkey Business... And thereby hangs a tale!"; "Monkey Business is some fun!"; "Story by Harry Segall"; "Screen Play by Ben Hecht, Charles Lederer and I.A.L. Diamond"; a truly wacky story of an inventor trying to find a "youth serum", and he experiments on chimps, and one of the chimps escapes and manages to create the serum, which the scientist then accidentally takes, and he becomes like a teenager, and then so does his wife!) starring Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Charles Coburn, Marilyn Monroe (in a small role as a sexy secretary hired by the now "youthful" Cary Grant), Hugh Marlowe, Henri Letondal, Robert Cornthwaite, Larry Keating, Douglas Spencer, Esther Dale, and George Winslow. Note that after Marilyn Monroe's great success at the start of the 1950s, 20th Century-Fox, who had her under contract, wisely found small parts for her in lots of their movies in 1951 and 1952! Also, note that there is a Marx Bros. movie from 1931 called "Monkey Business", but it has nothing to do with this movie. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had darkening and tiny brown stains in the top one-third of the poster, more so on the folds and in the white background areas (see our image). It had a lesser amount of darkening on the rest of the folds and some smudges scattered in the white background areas. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
