The verso functions as an information-and-image panel: dense Japanese text copy for exhibitors, a lineup of Monroe poses (each captioned), and a grid of black-and-white stills that underline the documentary\/retrospective positioning. As an object, it’s a perfect example of how Japanese cinemas sold Hollywood stardom in the early 1960s—bold on the front, editorial on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1744\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1645\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1645\" data-end=\"1648\"\u003eExcellent.
