One Sheet (27" x 41")
Very Fine- on Linen
Paramount, 1955

Alfred Hitchcock was at the height of fame as a film director when this superb film was made. This one-sheet poster puts both Cary Grant's and Grace Kelly's romantic chemistry and Hitchcock's skill for suspense front and center.

This poster on linen with great images had restoration to fix previous issues, including pinholes, fold line wear with some separation, and chipping, especially in the cross folds. There have been touch-ups to the fold lines, plus an extra horizontal line in the lower poster area. There has also been sporadic airbrushing in the borders.

Cary Grant and Grace Kelly bring impeccable class and glamour to Alfred Hitchcock's light-hearted French Riviera-set romantic crime film, in which a retired cat burglar (Grant) must catch an imposter thief who's ruining his reputation.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
