Twentieth Century-Fox, 1960. 134 contact sheets, in two sets bound at tops in clasps (one set totaling 121 sheets; the other, 13), each with 20 (though sometimes less) 2.75 x 1.75 in. black-and-white photographs, "Approved Set" inscribed on first sheet of smaller set in permanent marker, Advertising Code Administration "Approved" and "Disapproved" stamps on versos with dates in green and red ink, housed in a Kodak Photographic Paper box inscribed, "Monroe / Somethings [sic] Got to Give" (though the photographs are from Let's Make Love). Taken throughout the production of Marilyn Monroe's penultimate film, there are approximately 2,700 individual black-and-white images in this collection. Monroe is pictured in almost every shot, though her costars Yves Montand, Tony Randall, Gene Kelly, Bing Crosby, and others are also prominently featured, as is director George Cukor. Most of the photographs were taken during filming, but there are also many candid, behind-the-scenes images. Monroe herself went through the contact sheets and crossed out dozens of images she didn't like, using a thick black or red ink pen, and sometimes crossing herself out so thoroughly that she couldn't be seen at all. Thankfully, she left hundreds of shots untouched. 11 x 14 in.
