An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Misfits, the 1961 John Huston modern-day romantic cowboy western ("It shouts and sings with life... explodes with love!"; "Never again will the screen hold such excitement!"; "The world's greatest photographers shoot 'the Misfits'!"; with a screenplay by Arthur Miller) starring Clark Gable (in his last film), Marilyn Monroe (in her last completed film), Montgomery Clift, Thelma Ritter, Eli Wallach, and James Barton (in his last film). Note that Arthur Miller was at the time married to Monroe, but the marriage fell apart during filming. He began to see Inge Morath, a photographer documenting production of this film, and she later became his third and final wife. Also note that Clark Gable went on a crash diet before production started, losing 35 pounds. His health was already precarious, and he hated working with Marilyn Monroe, who could not remember her lines and did not show up on time, which aggravated his condition, and he suffered from a coronary thrombosis the day after shooting finished, dying ten days later. He was 59. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the consignor of this window card (and several others we are offering at auction currently) chose to display it in a special way. He folded back the top 4" of the card (which does not affect the image of course), and then he had the card placed in an attractive colored mat. He has sent us both the window cards and the colored mats. We are auctioning only the window card, but if its new owner wishes, we can send the mat that was cut for this window card along with it (but bear in mind that it will cost extra, because it will make the package larger, and the mat can only be used if the new owner re-folds the top 4" of the card). If we are not contacted by the buyer that they want us to send the mat, we will simply send the window card and discard the mat. Condition: very good. The top 4" was folded back . There is white conservation tape across the bottom edge of the top folded area, where it was attached to the mat. Learn More about condition grades
