OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Polish Poster (12×16) for the Howard Hawks screwball comedy, MONKEY BUSINESS(1952) starring Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Marilyn Monroe and Charles Coburn. An absolutely insane plot involving monkeys, a secret chemical formula, romance, and hysterical dementia utilizes all the comic abilities of the lead actors. Poster design features the classic image of Marilyn with her dress blowing up from the subway air exhaust (THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH) while a chimpanzee leers at her. Very Fine.

This is an original Paramount Pictures Title Lobby Card (11×14) for the Mitchell Leisen musical romance, LADY IN THE DARK (1944) starring Ginger Rogers, Ray Milland, and Warner Baxter. Paramount paid $285,000 for the film rights to this Gertrude Lawrence/Moss Hart/Kurt Weill stage hit, a record for the time. Rogers plays fashion magazine editor Liza, who finds herself having headaches and feeling generally dissatisfied.

Indeed, Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland named their daughter Liza Minnelli after this part. This original scene card is in very fine condition. As a rule, Paramount Pictures did not issue a title lobby card with their lobby card sets. This is one of the very few exceptions to that policy at Paramount!

Original 20th Century-Fox Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the Edmund Goulding teen drama, TEENAGE REBEL (1956) starring Ginger Rogers, Michael Rennie, and Betty Lou Keim. Dodie (Keim), the fifteen-year-old daughter of Rogers (in one of her last feature films), is not so much a rebel as the sad child of a divorce. She has been estranged from her mother for eight years since her parents’ divorce. But when she is finally sent to her mother so her father can secretly get married, she must learn to accept her mother and new stepfather. In all, the film is an excellent attempt to dramatize the effects of divorce on a child at a time when divorce was still unusual. This original half sheet poster is in very fine condition.
