Marilyn Monroe "Seven Year Itch" Famous Dress Scene Negatives (4)

Marilyn Monroe original black and white negatives from her iconic film "The Seven Year Itch" taken during production of the famous scene where her dress blows up. Monroe mesmerized a crowd of lucky onlookers while her white dress blew suggestively above her knees — and sometimes over her head. It was 1954, and the director Billy Wilder was filming a scene of the film The Seven Year Itch on Lexington Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Street in New York City. In the script, Monroe and co-star Tom Ewell exit a movie theater and a breeze from the subway passing below lifts Monroe’s skirt, and, Monroe exclaims, “Isn't it delicious?” Four original black and white negatives, sold without copyright. These negatives are being sold for personal collection purposes only, consignor does not warrant that he has any exclusive rights or copyrights to these negatives, other than simply possession of these four negatives. Consignor and Gotta Have Rock and Roll.com do not accept any liability for any actions taken by purchaser. Very good condition. Measures 8 x 10.
