I think Belgian poster artists, in MANY cases, have gotten the image
and feel of actors, spot on, in numerous examples.
Poster after poster from the 1940s and '50s have just stunning images
created of Monroe, Bergman, A Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Cary Grant and so
many others, IMO.
They can be both beautiful and extremely close in presentation,
emotion and energy.

Marilyn's posters - across here entire filmography - often to do
not look like Marilyn. Very few of the illustrations get
it really right. Most of them are Marilyn-like. This is often the
case with film posters. The image of Veronica Lake on THIS GUN FOR
HIRE does not look like
Veronica Lake. Some Blonde is pictured.
So here's a question for the list - excepting photographs - which
illustrations on film posters really get the image of a star -
doesn't matter which one - REALLY right?
I point to the Roger Souble portrait of Veronica Lake. There is
art that really captures the look and the essence of the star's
appeal.

Marilyn on all posters on this title.
