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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. Prior to linenbacking, the poster was in very good condition. There were tears and small areas of paper loss on many of the foldlines. There were small holes at several crossfolds. The borders of the poster were generally tattered, and new blank paper has been very carefully placed over much of the borders (not affecting the writing at the bottom of the poster). Linenbacking has minimized the poster's defects, but they are still somewhat noticeable, although I do not think they are all that distracting. Learn More about condition grades
