The Prince and the Showgirl Monroe
Original vintage movie poster for the classic romantic comedy The Prince and the Showgirl - There's only one Marilyn Monroe but there isn't one Marilyn Monroe picture that teases and tickles like Marilyn Monroe starring with Laurence Olivier in Warner Bros' The Prince and the Showgirl. Some countries have a medal for everything. Released in 1957, this film was produced and directed by Laurence Olivier and starred Marilyn Monroe, Laurence Olivier, Richard Wattis and Sybil Thorndike, presented in Technicolor by Warner Bros. Great image on a dark background featuring a romantic embrace between Laurence Olivier as the prince and Marilyn Monroe as the showgirl, with Laurence Olivier kissing Marilyn Monroe's shoulder, the strap of her red dress slipping down her arm with a medal pinned to the other side and the text in stylised red, white and black letters. Artwork by the American graphic designer Bill Gold (b. 1921), best known for his film poster work. The poster also features two Approved stamps from the Posters Department of Quebec's Censorship Office. Fair condition, restored folds, tears and minor loss, staining, stamps of Quebec censor, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
