An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's Rope (released outside the U.S. as "The Rope"), the classic 1948 Alfred Hitchcock New York City crime murder thriller ("Nothing ever held you like Alfred Hitchcock's ROPE"; "It begins with a shriek, It ends with a shot! From beginning to end nothing ever held you like Alfred Hitchcock's Rope"; "Screen play by Arthur Laurents"; "From the play by Patrick Hamilton"; loosely based on the Leopold/Loeb child murder trial; this movie had a gimmick in that the entire movie took place in what appears to be one extremely long "take"; to me, it just made it seem like watching a stage play, and took away what differentiates a movie from a stage play!) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), John Dall, Farley Granger, Cedric Hardwicke (billed as "Sir Cedric Hardwicke"), Constance Collier, Joan Chandler, (in her second movie role; one of only three movies she did in her entire career!) Douglas Dick, Dick Hogan, and Edith Evanson. Note that this was Hitchcock's first color film. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster was creased and lightly water stained throughout, and the paper had darkened slightly. There was small paper loss at the bottom crossfold and in a couple of tiny areas in foldlines. There were creases, pinholes, and tiny tears in the borders, and in a few areas in the top left of the image. Someone took small pieces of white paper and taped them to the back of the poster over the tiny paper loss. They then took clear tape and put it over the back of all the foldlines and covering the border tears and pinholes, so there is a great deal of tape on the back of the poster. Some of it has bled through to the front, in the middle of the bottom foldline and in a few places in the borders. Certainly, this poster has significant defects, but any talented restorer can remove the tape from the back, remove the light water staining, hopefully through chemical means, and once the poster is properly linenbacked and restored, it will look great!
