Bus Stop 1956 UK Double Crown Film Poster, Tom Chantrell

We adore this rare original 1956 British double crown poster for Bus Stop featuring a vibrant and glamorous portrait of Marilyn Monroe rendered with exceptional flair, capturing all the allure and star power associated with the film’s celebrated lead. Arguably the best deisng for the title.

Designed by acclaimed British illustrator Tom Chantrell (1916–2001), one of the most prolific and influential poster artists of the 20th century. Known for his dramatic compositions, bold colour work and enviable ability to distil a film’s energy into a single unforgettable image, Chantrell created thousands of posters across several decades. His work became synonymous with British cinema advertising, and his pieces — notable for their dynamism and meticulous craftsmanship — are now highly prized by collectors worldwide.

Bus Stop (1956) is a romantic comedy-drama following a naive young cowboy who becomes infatuated with a nightclub singer, leading to a clash of wills, desires and heartfelt self-discovery. Celebrated for its warmth, charm and standout performances, the film remains a cherished mid-century classic. A superb centrepiece for any collection.
