  Marilyn

  £275.00

  “Whether they said M.M. or merely Monroe…You always knew they were talking about the one and only…Marilyn!”

  Gorgeous poster created in promotion of 1963’s “Marilyn”, the documentary tribute using archival footage of Marilyn Monroe’s films, narrated by Rock Hudson, celebrating her screen legacy shortly after her death. Featuring stunning artwork and an amazing colour palette, from Boris Grinsson of Monroe in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, this French “Grande” poster is from the 1975 re-release of the film in France. Stunning in person, and impressive not just because of Grinsson’s imagery and use of colour, but also due to the large format, it exudes glamour and old Hollywood. Originally folded (as issued) this example presents and displays to excellent effect and represents a beautiful item of original cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: The film ends with and alternative version of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” filmed in CinemaScope.

  Oh! What a Lovely War

  £145.00

  “The ever popular war game with songs battles & a few jokes”

  “Oh! What a Lovely War” was Richard Attenborough’ Directorial debut in 1969 and also resulted in a highly patriotic film poster with a Union Jack design and as Sim Branagan states in his 2006 book “British Film Posters” – “A clever and appealing spoof of the classic Kitchener call-up poster”. With initial design by John Billingham and finished artwork by Brian Sanders each section of the Union Jack flag feature a scene from the movie and include General Haig (John Mills) playing leap frog and Brighton Pier with the colours red, white and blue are enhanced with Khaki, lilac and different shades of blue, red & green. An exceptional and eye-catching looking film poster with superbly detailed imagery, this really is a beautifully designed stand out poster and is becoming increasingly hard to find. Originally folded (as issued) this 1969 UK quad film poster displays superbly with vibrant unfaded colour tones. This excellent unrestored example presents to very good effect and represents an fine piece of collectable original British film memorabilia.
