There were no buyers Sunday at the auction of a 1940s stag film that an events promoter claims shows an underage Marilyn Monroe having sex before she became a movie star.
上周日,上世紀40年代的一部性愛影片公開拍賣,活動發起人聲稱這是未成年的瑪麗蓮•夢露成名前所拍的性愛影片,然而此項拍賣未能成交。
The auction was a flop. Nobody came forward willing to pay Mikel Barsa's starting price of 2 million Argentine pesos, about $480,000.
拍賣會遭遇慘敗,沒人愿意支付邁克爾•巴薩提出的200萬阿根廷比索(約合48萬美元)的起價。
Barsa said it didn't help matters that a spokeswoman for Monroe's estate was quoted in an interview calling the whole thing a fraud.
媒體此前援引夢露遺產公司的一位女發言人的話說,這次拍賣是場徹頭徹尾的騙局。巴薩稱,拍賣失敗并不能證明這一點。
