Auction History Result 1x324 LOVE HAPPY Danish program '51 Marx Brothers art + sexy Marilyn Monroe pictured with Groucho! Date Sold 10/11/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1951 (from the first release of this movie in Denmark) Vintage Theatrical Danish Movie Program (measures 4 1/2" x 6 1/4" [11 x 16 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Love Happy, the 1949 David Miller musical screwball comedy ("New Musical Girlesque!!!"; "Their Newest! Funniest! Musical!") starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho, Chico, and Harpo), Ilona Massey ("Screendom's most beautiful blonde!"), Vera-Ellen ("Thrills in the torrid 'Sadie Thompson' dance!"), Marion Hutton ("She swings with the strings of your heart!"), Raymond Burr, Melville Cooper, Leon Belasco, Paul Valentine, Eric Blore, Bruce Gordon, Otto Waldis, and Marilyn Monroe (in only her second credited movie role!). What is remarkable is that the people who designed the posters put pictures of three pretty girls on them, but did not manage to make Marilyn Monroe one of them, surely a major blunder. She WAS pictured on one of the lobby cards, but that seems to have been almost by chance! I know this was because she was unknown at the time, but I would think they would have recognized her obvious assets! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that Marilyn Monroe appeared in her second credited role in this movie, but was not billed. But the designer of this Danish program happily recognized (in 1951) how beautiful she was, and the back cover of the program is a great image a bewildered Groucho Marx hugging her (but she is still not billed or shown anywhere else in the program!). Also note that we have pictured the front and back covers and an interior 2-page spread from this program. Condition: good. The program was once in a bound volume and there is tiny paper loss in several places in the spine, where it was once attached to the bound volume. The person who saw this movie glued their ticket stub to the inside front cover that caused discoloration on the upper left of the title page (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
