Description

Don't Bother to Knock (20th Century Fox, 1952). Fine- on Linen. One Sheet (27" X 41").
This stark one sheet for Don't Bother to Knock showcases Marilyn Monroe in a shimmering red dress, promoting her breakout dramatic turn as Nell Forbes, a troubled babysitter whose instability draws the attention of Jed Towers (Richard Widmark) with dangerous consequences. Proving herself as a serious actress, Monroe delivers a performance of both vulnerability and allure, making this poster a striking example of her early talent and undeniable screen presence. Somewhat heavy restoration has endeavored to address edge and fold wear, significant creases, fold/crossfold separation, misfolds, paper lifts, several tears, and chips/chipping (further corrected by replacement). Some flaws and restoration remain slightly visible.
