An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, the classic 1954 Alfred Hitchcock (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) thriller ("The master of suspense brings you his masterpiece!"; "Based on the short story by Cornell Woolrich"; "Screenplay by John Michael Hayes"; about a man who breaks his leg and is forced to stay at his home until he's better; during this time he observes his neighbors and does some voyeuristic detective work) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; as Jeff), Grace Kelly (as Lisa), Wendell Corey (as Detective Lt. Doyle), Thelma Ritter (as Stella), Raymond Burr (as Lars Thorwald), Judith Evelyn (as Miss Lonelyhearts), Georgine Darcy (as Miss Torso), Jesslyn Fax (as Miss Hearing Aid), Rand Harper, Havis Davenport (Harper and Davenport played the "newlyweds"), and Ross Bagdasarian (as the "Songwriter"). Note that Raymond Burr had appeared in movies for seven years before this, but always had minor roles, usually playing the "heavy". It would be three more years before his big break in 1957, when he became TV's "Perry Mason"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. The poster had significant paper loss in the left, middle, and right of the horizontal folds that ran through the title and through the bottom of the credits. There was also paper loss in the top and bottom center of the image area, and many areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster, in the blank borders. There were some much smaller areas of paper loss on parts of other foldlines. There were areas of paper loss in the title and the bottom of the credits, but the image of the stars at bottom left and the three windows across the alley all had almost no paper loss, which is certainly fortunate! Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was expertly backed by a talented restorer who had a good image of an undamaged poster, and the poster now displays quite nicely. But it has had significant restoration within the image, so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above (and have studied our super-sized image).
