Note that there is controversy about the ending of this movie! Many people say that Hitchcock intended the movie to end with Grant killing Fontaine, and that the studio insisted that he change it (to preserve Grant's positive public image), but others say that this is an urban legend, and that the movie was always intended to end the way it did!

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had minor fold and border wear and a faint foreign stamp in the top left corner. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. After the poster was backed, it acquired tiny faint brown dot stains in the bottom center, in Fontaine's dress and the background next to it, and also some across the bottom border and some in the excess linen at the bottom. There is some in the white background to the right Fontaine's hair and just a few around the edges. The poster can be displayed as it is, or certainly, a restorer could touch up the faint brown dot stains, either with or without re-backing the poster, but this will be the choice of the new owner. Please bear the above in mind before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
