Important Added Info: Note that the commonly accepted release date for this classic Alfred Hitchcock movie is 1940, but this original one-sheet carries a 1939 copyright date. It is not uncommon for posters to be dated in the year prior, especially if they were released at the start of the year. Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Alfred Hitchcock". Condition: very good. The poster has 1" of separation at the top crossfold and tiny separation at the other two crossfolds. It has two faint brown horizontal scuff marks in the top right. One starts in Olivier's temple and goes into the border, and the other starts in his hair and goes into the border (see our image). There are three small pieces of brown paper tape on the back of the top border, but they were not put there for a restoration purpose. Other than the above defects, the poster is in nice condition. The poster could absolutely be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one could choose to have the above defects corrected through linenbacking. Either way, the new owner will have a great poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
