Original 20th Century-Fox Six Sheet Poster (81x81). Linen-backed. Very fine.
This is an original 20th Century-Fox Six Sheet Poster (81x81) for the Roy Ward Baker dramatic thriller, DON'T BOTHER TO KNOCK (1952) starring Richard Widmark, Marilyn Monroe, and Anne Bancroft (in her film debut). The film tells the story of airline pilot Jed Towers (Widmark), who at first actively pursues baby-sitter Nell (Monroe) but then gradually realizes she is crazy and dangerous. Part psychological drama and part thriller, the film remains one of Marilyn Monroe's best dramatic performances. Widmark also gives an excellent performance in spite of having to portray a rather lame, superficial character with few redeeming features. This original six sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition. Six sheets on this title are rare.
