Young America's idol - a good looking stranger in search of sensation - and a girl in love. These are the people around whom Alfred Hitchcock spins his wonderful new web of suspense and surprise. Warner Bros. bring you a pounding new tempo to motion picture entertainment."; "It starts with the shriek of a train whistle... and ends with shrieking excitement!"; "Warner Bros. Now bring a pounding new temp to screen entertainment!"; "Screen Play by Raymond Chandler and Czenzi Ormonde"; based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith; about a man who meets a somewhat unbalanced man on a train, and they fantasize about how each has a person that makes their life miserable, and the unbalanced man says that they could each kill the other's problem, and would never get caught!) starring Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, Robert Walker, Leo G. Carroll, Patricia Hitchcock, Kasey Rogers, and Marion Lorne 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 all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Alfred Hitchcock". Condition: good to very good. There are some faint brown dot stains scattered throughout the poster, but they are mostly only noticeable in the white background areas. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition! This is the sort of poster that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the faint brown stains can be removed through chemical means, after which the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
