Vintage black and white studio publicity photograph featuring legendary Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe in a memorable scene from the celebrated 1955 romantic comedy The Seven Year Itch. Monroe is captured in a striking full-length pose, wearing a light-colored polka dot dress with a fitted bodice and flowing skirt while holding a fencing foil and protective fencing mask. Her signature platinum blonde curls, expressive gaze, and graceful posture create a captivating image that combines classic Hollywood glamour with playful cinematic storytelling.
The photograph depicts Monroe standing in an interior setting, turning over her shoulder while holding the fencing equipment. The dramatic pose, distinctive costume, and carefully composed studio lighting highlight Monroe's natural charisma and the sophisticated visual style associated with mid-century Hollywood publicity photography.
Directed by Billy Wilder and adapted from George Axelrod's acclaimed Broadway play, The Seven Year Itch was released by 20th Century Fox in 1955. Starring Monroe opposite Tom Ewell, the film became one of the most recognizable romantic comedies of Hollywood's Golden Age and remains an enduring highlight of Monroe's celebrated film career.
The photograph retains its original printed lower margin identifying the image as a scene from the 20th Century Fox production The Seven Year Itch, accompanied by CinemaScope and Color by DeLuxe production credits. Studio reference number 910-9 appears in the lower right portion of the image, together with an additional studio identification marking.
The reverse bears a red Dell Publishing Co., Inc. Library archival stamp, an additional 7 Year Itch identification stamp, and handwritten pencil notations. These period studio and publishing archive markings enhance the historical interest and collectible appeal of this vintage Hollywood publicity photograph.
An attractive addition to collections of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, original Hollywood motion picture stills, vintage celebrity photography, Dell Publishing archives, and classic American cinema collectibles.
