Description

Bus Stop (20th Century Fox, 1956). Very Fine- on Linen. British Double Crown (20" X 30"). Tom Chantrell Artwork.
Tom Chantrell's illustration for this double crown is amongst the best poster likenesses of Marilyn Monroe from any country during her tragically short but legendary film career. The story of a a small-town cowboy who tries to win over a cafe singer with show business dreams, Bus Stop, was based on a play by William Inge. Marilyn was praised for her performance in a more complex and nuanced role than some of her earlier efforts. Backed to linen, there was touchup to a tear at upper left and wear and small chips in the bottom corners. This lovely poster presents well.
