Marilyn Monroe Porn Film

(Buenos Aires, Argentina) From LAHT:

The auction of one of only two known copies of a porno film purportedly featuring a young Marilyn Monroe fizzled in Buenos Aires because the bids did not meet or exceed the $500,000 set as the initial price.

The largest offer came from a private collector in Denver, who bid $280,000, but the amount did not satisfy the owner of the film, the auction promoter, Spaniard Mikel Barsa, told Efe.

“It’s part of the game; now a negotiation will come in which the buyer will want to pay the lowest price and the seller will seek to get the highest” for the short movie, which allegedly was filmed in 1946 or 1947, he said.

The black-and-white film, about six minutes long, had been in the hands of a Spanish collector who recently died.

Since the film is over 60 years old, probably 8mm cellulose nitrate, I suspect it's in poor condition.
