Widely considered to be the best artwork of Marilyn Monroe, Tom Chantrell's beautifully designed British Double-Crown for Bus Stop (1956) perfectly captures the "Blonde Bombshell" at the height of her fame following The Seven Year Itch (1955). In the film, stubborn but naive rodeo cowboy Beauregard "Bo" Decker (Don Murray) falls in love with cafe singer Cherie (Monroe), who dreams of travelling to Hollywood to become famous. Thinking he must make her his wife, Bo forces Cherie on a bus back to his hometown of Montana, but things don't quite go according to plan. This role was considered a little less glamorous than Monroe's previous onscreen characters and saw a change in her acting career. It is a captivating and enchanting poster featuring the iconic movie star that rarely comes to market.
