Original Polish Poster (28×38) for the George Cukor romantic trifle, LET’S MAKE LOVE (1960) starring Marilyn Monroe, Yves Montand, Tony Randall, Wilfred Hyde-White, Milton Berle and Joe Besser. Monroe is a Broadway starlet performing in a revue satirizing a French tycoon. The tycoon (Montand) goes backstage to investigate, and through mistaken identity is given the actual role. Monroe learns to be funny, thanks to the likes of Milton Berle and several other celebrities. Throw in Elvis and Maria Callas impersonators and even a Van Cliburn lookalike and you get the drift! Poster design features a sexy portrait of Monroe with Montand as a butterfly, flitting by. Art on this poster is by Jackk Neugebauer. Very Fine Plus.

Original Merchant Ivory One Sheet Poster (23.5 x 37.5) for the Simon Callow mystery drama, THE BALLAD OF THE SAD CAFÉ (1991) starring Vanessa Redgrave, Keith Carradine, Cork Hubbert, and Rod Steiger. Based on the Broadway production of the same name by Edward Albee, which opened at the Martin Beck Theater on October 30, 1963 and won the Tony award for Best Play the next year.

This special size original one sheet poster is folded and in fine condition, with only some minor fold distresses.

This poster for the second series advertised THE MAN IN THE GLASS BOOTH, IN CELEBRATION, Jean Genet’s THE MAIDS, Bertholt Brecht’s GALILEO and JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE AND WELL AND LIVING IN PARIS. An interesting piece of non-Hollywood film ephemera.
