Description

The Prince and the Showgirl (Warner Brothers, 1957). Half Sheet (22" X 28"). Carpathian Prince Charles (Laurence Olivier) gets a lot more than he bargained for after a night with flighty American showgirl Elsie Marina (Marilyn Monroe) in this charming adaptation of Terence Rattigan's play, The Sleeping Prince. Although the relationship between Monroe and Olivier was somewhat contentious during filming, Olivier, as director, manages to pull a fine performance out of the mercurial starlet. This gorgeous half sheet had fold wear and pinholes in the corners and in the image area, but professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. This is a wonderful piece from a wonderful film. Very Fine+ on Paper.
