I mean what's a measly seven grand for a Seven Year Itch insert when you're already throwing MILLIONS at THE dress from THE scene in the movie?

As for the small number of movie posters that were included in this auction, they did incredibly well, here are some examples, all of these are only hammer prices before buyers commission is added: VIRGIN QUEEN 3 SHEET 1900 SEVEN YEAR ITCH INSERT 7000 THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS INSERT 7000 THE EGYPTIAN THREE SHEET 2000 DESIREE SIX SHEET 3250 This is a case where this famous provenance radically affected the poster prices.

Add another million and a half for the red dress from GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES (which personally I thought delivered more wow, with her in or out of the dress) I can't even think of anything snarky to say..........these are unbelievable numbers. >> >> Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com >> ___________________________________________________________________ >> How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List >> >> Send a message addressed to: [email protected] >> In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L >> >> The author of this message is solely responsible for its content. > > Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com > ___________________________________________________________________ > How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List > Send a message addressed to: [email protected] > In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L > The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
