Well, a belated two cents on various aspects.... Cent 1: I doubt Fox would have issued a set of cards until a rough cut was done - as even then having scenes on cards that were not in the finished film would be problematic. It's rare enough to find publicity stills (produced in greater abundance than lobby sets) of deleted scenes or shots that didn't make the final cut. Besides, Fox were having difficulties with MM from early on in the shoot, no?
Cent 2: While I think these are exactly like what they smell like, running previously printed sheets through for a one-colour overprint addition to white borders was and is possible. Cent 3: (okay, overspending) See Cent 2. Photoshop and 4 colour midnight grants in backwater towns = the bootleggers friends.

They mention 500 minutes of footage, MM being fired from the film, Dino deciding he wasn't going to do the film if they replaced MM with another actress, Fox changing their mind and would resume filming, MM suicide or was it? Anyhow, with the footage they had, a 37 minute short version of the film is shown on the DVD.

It would have qualified as Holy Grail material. There was bit of footage and there were a few frames of still images - that's about all that ever surfaced from this film on my watch. Whoever put the piece together did a good job of capturing period and style - However, I don't think Fox would have thrown the switch on the lobby set until the film was at least nearly finished and close to all photography in hand to choose from. Not sure there would have been a rush. Also note there is no key art or stylized logo treatment - another sign against this coming through Fox Marketing. You would expect a Monroe image from the film as a repeated element for the advertising campaign. But heck - I've been wrong before. I sure would like to feel the paper - probably good make a much better appraisal that way.
