A sex film featuring Hollywood screen icon Marilyn Monroe has been sold for £750,000.
The grainy black and white film was shot in the 1950s and shows the blonde actress performing a sex act on an unidentified male.

A New York-based businessman paid the six-figure sum for the tape which is said to be a copy of the original film still held by the FBI.

According to memorabilia expert Keya Morgan, who brokered the sale, the original film is still held in the evidence vaults at the FBI headquarters in Washington DC.

Monroe was secretly investigated by the FBI over her affair with President John F Kennedy and her links to mafia mobsters.

The film first came to the attention of the FBI in the mid-1960s.

The then FBI-director J.Edgar Hoover ordered agents to try, without success, to prove that Monroe's sex partner was either John F.Kennedy or Robert F.Kennedy, Morgan told the New York Post newspaper. Morgan said he heard about the illicit copy while researching the life of Monroe, who died aged 36 of a drug overdose in 1962, for a TV documentary.

A retired FBI agent tipped him off about the film and put him in contact with the son of an informant who had told the FBI of the film - but had kept a copy for himself. After the informant died, ownership of the copy went to his son.

The 16mm film, which lasts for 15 minutes, had been kept in a bank vault for over 40 years.

Morgan said: "You see instantly that it's Marilyn Monroe - she has the famous mole.

"She's smiling, she's very charming, she's very radiant, but she's known for being radiant."

Morgan said Monroe and the man involved knew they were being filmed, and that it had been shot before she became a star.

Monroe is remembered for films such as Gentleman Prefer Blondes and Some Like it Hot.

The film buyer and seller have remained anonymous. But Morgan said the buyer had no plans to market the tape. "He said he's just going to lock it up," he added.

"He said, 'I'm not going to make a Paris Hilton out of her. I'm not going to sell it, out of respect'." Declassified FBI documents from the 1960s refer to a "French-type" film starring the late actress.

They state the informant "exhibited to agents a motion picture which depicted deceased actress Marilyn Monroe committing a perverted act upon a unknown male".

According to the documents, Monroe's former husband, baseball star Joseph DiMaggio, had tried to buy the tape to ensure it was never shown in public. He had been turned down.
