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,上世纪40年代的一部性爱影片公开拍卖,活动发起人声称这是未成年的玛丽莲•梦露成名前所拍的性爱影片,然而此项拍卖未能成交。
The auction was a flop. Nobody came forward willing to pay Mikel Barsa's starting price of 2 million Argentine pesos, about $480,000.
拍卖会遭遇惨败,没人愿意支付迈克尔•巴萨提出的200万阿根廷比索(约合48万美元)的起价。
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.
媒体此前援引梦露遗产公司的一位女发言人的话说,这次拍卖是场彻头彻尾的骗局。巴萨称,拍卖失败并不能证明这一点。
