Luces De Candilejas – There’s No Business Like Show Business – Jano – 1954

This is a stunning vintage film poster for the Spanish release of Luges de Candilejas which translates into English as Candle Lights but was the Spanish title for Irving Berlins ‘There’s no business like show business. It was created by the artist Jano in 1954 and features a superb image of Monroe in a gold show dress against a dark, starry background.

There’s No Business Like Show Business is a 1954 American musical comedy-drama film directed by Walter Lang. It featured music by Irving Berlin and stars Ethel Merman, Donald O’Connor, Marilyn Monroe, Dan Dailey, Johnnie Ray, and Mitzi Gaynor. O’Connor later called the film the best picture he ever made. Monroe initially refused to make There’s No Business Like Show Business just as she had for the previous project until Fox assured her that her next vehicle would be The Seven Year Itch. They agreed to that and also to her demand for a pay increase of $3,000 a week.

Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears, or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.

The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £12. So you can bag a print and frame for a great price.
