In the world of Hollywood memorabilia, the 'subway dress' worn by Marilyn Monroe in 'The Seven Year Itch' (1955) holds the record for the most expensive costume ever sold at auction. In 2011, it was purchased for $4.6 million (plus a $1 million commission). Another legendary prop, the lead 'Maltese Falcon' statuette from the 1941 film, sold for $4.1 million in 2013. These prices reflect the massive cultural weight of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Ironically, during the actual filming of Monroe's famous subway scene, the crowd of 5,000 onlookers was so loud and lewd that the footage was unusable; the iconic scene we see in the movie was actually re-shot on a quiet soundstage back at the studio.
