Groucho Marx told an anecdote - both on a '60s Today Show segment and in print - that the movie's producer asked three aspiring actresses to walk seductively past Marx. Whomever Marx decided was the best walker would play opposite him in the film. When the third girl walked past, Marx was asked which one he liked, he responded, "You're kidding right!  How could you possibly choose anyone but that last one?"  Marx had chosen Marilyn Monroe for the film

Condition: Very Good - Excellent with a minor staple mark above Monroe head.
