An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 47 3/4" x 63" [121 x 160 cm]) (Learn More) Some Like It Hot, the classic 1959 Billy Wilder (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) romantic musical cross-dressing drag crime comedy ("Hot!!!"; about two out of work musicians who happen to witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago, and they need to leave town in a hurry, but the only jobs they can get is with an all-girl band, and they dress in drag, and one of the band members is Marilyn Monroe!) starring Marilyn Monroe ("and her bosom companions"), Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), George Raft, Pat O'Brien, and Joe E. Brown (the great star of 1920s and 1930s slapstick comedy, who practically steals this movie with a wonderful comic performance and an unforgettable final line!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: d'apres Boris Grinsson Important Added Info: Note that this poster is NOT the extremely rare very first release French one-panel poster for this classic movie, but rather a 1960s re-release. The original French one-panel poster has different art that has the same printer information on it, but written in a different font, and that poster has art of Lemmon and Curtis holding Marilyn between them, and the art is signed "Grinsson" (we have recently auctioned it). THIS poster has art that is not signed simply "Grinsson", but it is instead signed "d'apres Grinsson" (in the style of Grinsson), so we feel certain that this poster is likely from a second 1960s re-release (or perhaps simply that a second poster was printed for the first re-release once the movie proved so popular). If anyone knows more about these posters, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking?

The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some foldlines, and darkening around the outer edges of the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
