GODDESS, THE (1958) 20842

Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet (27x41). Folded. Very Fine Plus.

Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet (27x41) for the John Cromwell drama THE GODDESS (1958) starring Kim Stanley, Lloyd Bridges, Steven Hill, Patty Duke and Louse Beavers. This drama, written by the brilliant Paddy Chayevsky, was basically in the form of a biopic and based around the early and upcoming years of an actress modeled on the real-life Marilyn Monroe. Kim Stanley, an acclaimed stage actress of the era, really made a splash with this performance, tearing up the screen with a degree of depth and emotion rivaled only by the likes of European actresses like Anna Magnani and Giuletta Masina. This was truly a portrait of a deepening misery and unhappiness experienced by an actress as she climbed the pinnacle of success. Stanley would make very few films over her career with this being one of the most sensational yielding her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. The poster is folded and in very fine plus condition.
