Description

Breakfast At Tiffany's (Paramount, 1961). Advance Japanese B2 (20" X 29").
A signature role for Audrey Hepburn, the part was originally offered to Marilyn Monroe (who novelist Truman Capote claimed he had envisioned when writing the character), but Monroe eventually passed, and the rest is history. Director Blake Edwards brings a light touch to potentially unsavory material, and the end result is a breezy joy. Offered here is a very rare Advance Japanese B2, which features the iconic image of Hepburn; this is the first opportunity we've had to offer this little-seen sheet. Condition issues for this unrestored poster include tears at the top left and top right, two small tears in the lower border, and a small hole just to the left of the rose, all of which has been beautifully corrected with professional restoration. Fine- on Linen.
