1957 The Prince and the Showgirl Spanish Release Poster

Original 1957 Spanish release film poster for 'The Prince and the Showgirl' or 'El Principe y la Corista'.

'The Prince and the Showgirl' stars Marilyn Monroe as 'Elsie', an American understudy who charms Grandduke Charles the Prince Regent of Carpatha, played by Laurence Olivier.

This poster would have been displayed in cinemas across Spain during the film's original release in 1957. The Spanish distributors 'A.S.' often used a photographic image on their 'Style B' posters for a film, as this example for 'The Prince and the Showgirl' beautifully illustrates.

The poster is dominated by a stunning image of Marilyn Monroe, promoting her as the main draw for the film.
