Auction History Result 8h786 ROPE 1sh '48 great artwork of James Stewart, Alfred Hitchcock classic! Date Sold 11/10/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; 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. Condition: good. There are horizontal scuffs and scratches above and below the title and credits area at center and lower center (see our super-sized image for the exact locations). There is a stain in Stewart's credit at lower right. There is an area of paper loss and 2" tear extending from the left edge of the paper loss in the lower right edge of the poster (the tear is repaired with tape from the back). Overall, the above defects are not that distracting, and certainly a talented restorer can touch them up during the linenbacking process and the poster will look great (although I can also imagine many collectors displaying the poster just as it is).
