Sell Your 1915 Birth of a Nation One Sheet Movie Poster
The 1915 film The Birth of a Nation was directed by Oscar winner D. W. Griffith and starred Lillian Gish, “The First Lady of American Cinema”. Set during the Civil War and Reconstruction era, the film was extremely controversial as it portrayed African Americans negatively and celebrated the Ku Klux Klan. The revival of the Ku Klux Klan is said to have been inspired by the film as it occurred only months after its release. The Birth of a Nation was the first film to be screened at the White House and had many other film firsts including using hundreds of extras and, at three hours, was the longest film up to that point.

Marilyn Monroe’s personal copy of the unfinished 1962 film ”Something’s Got to Give,” abandoned after the star’s untimely death in 1962. In fact, most of the film’s completed footage remained unseen for many years. Monroe notoriously had missed a slew of shooting days due to a ”sinus infection” that disappeared at night, when she was photographed about town. This infuriated director George Cukor, and Twentieth Century-Fox went so far as to fire her on 11 June 1962 for missing 17 of the 30 shooting days. But, when co-star Dean Martin countered with, ”No Marilyn, no picture”, the studio relented and took her back, though she sadly died less than two months later. Script runs 161pp. long with 51 revised pages. Spine of script has the film’s title printed in black lettering with the date ”March 29, 1962.” Cover has ”Final / Confidential / For Planning Purposes Only” printed on it, as well as, ”Something’s Got to Give / March 29, 1962” and ”Property of / Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation” imprinted with the studio logo. Script measures 8.5” x 11” with some minor creasing, else very good. Housed in a custom-made red cloth box with a matching red leather slipcase. With Christie’s provenance. Sold for $25,428.
