Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)

About the Item

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) Original US One Sheet (27 X 41 Inches) Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell were at the peak of their popularity when Howard Hawks cast them in this spectacular musical comedy based on a Broadway show. As two Cabaret performers and best friends, the girls are faced with that old question, "Is it better to marry for money or love?" That answer gets resolved in the most comedic ways and propelled the film into one of the most successful musicals ever made. This poster is equally spectacular as the Hollywood stars are captured in their cabaret showgirl costumes. This is an Original Film Poster produced by the studio to be displayed in the movie theatres to promote the film when it was first released in the USA.
