“Marilyn” (マリリン・モンローの世界), Original Japanese Re-Release Movie Poster 1974, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O750

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1974 for a Japanese re-release of Marilyn (マリリン・モンローの世界), the 20th Century Fox documentary portrait celebrating the life and screen image of Marilyn Monroe, narrated by Rock Hudson.

Film background
Originally released in 1963, Marilyn is a studio-era documentary retrospective that frames Monroe as both Hollywood star and international cultural myth—built from curated film material and iconic imagery. By the mid-1970s, Monroe’s legend had only intensified, and Japanese revival screenings like this re-release reintroduced her to new audiences in an era of renewed global fascination with her image, style, and enduring celebrity.

Poster design
A glamorous, high-impact Japanese B2 dominated by a radiant Monroe portrait—platinum hair, red lipstick, diamond earrings, and a white fur stole—set against a deep black field for maximum contrast. The border functions like a miniature filmstrip archive: dozens of small stills and performance moments frame the central image, reinforcing the “world of Marilyn” concept as a visual anthology. The title 「マリリン・モンローの世界」 appears in bold pink across the bottom, with MARILYN in English and a Rock Hudson credit portrait inset—tying the piece back to the documentary’s narration and studio provenance. An exceptionally displayable 1970s re-release design: modern, glossy, and pure Monroe iconography.
