Note that Cary Grant had announced his retirement from movies in 1953, but he was lured out of retirement by Hitchcock to make this one. Also note that Jessie Royce Landis, who had played Grant's mother in "North by Northwest", this time played his potential mother-in-law, and yet, she was only eight years older than Grant, who had aged very well! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. The card had pinholes in the corners and creases and smudges around the edges of the card. Some very talented restorer cleaned and flattened the card and then added starch backing to the borders and did restoration to the front of the borders, and the slightest restoration within the image. The card looks great, but you can see slight signs of the defects within the yellow background areas because the restorer did not want to paint over those areas, so as to avoid a "restored" look, which he did!
