Description

Don't Bother to Knock (20th Century Fox, 1952). Insert (14" X 36").
Like the popular TV show 24, the events in this gripping film noir thriller actually take place in real-time. When Jed Tower's (Richard Widmark) girlfriend (Anne Bancroft, in her film debut) dumps him, he tries to make time with sexy but suicidal Nell Forbes (Marilyn Monroe), a behavior he soon comes to regret. This was Monroe's first dramatic role, proving to critics that she could actually act. This gorgeous insert had a small tear in the bottom left, and a tear in the top border, but expert professional restoration, including airbrushing in the borders, has addressed these very minor flaws. Very Fine- on Paper.
