An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14" x 18 3/4" [36 x 48 cm]) (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. Important Added Info: MGM acquired the international rights to this movie in 1958, and did a major release of it at that time, and Universal Studios acquired the rights in 1964, and did their re-release in that year and in later years, so the poster surely dates from between 1958 and 1963. If anyone knows more about exactly when this French re-release took place, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. There is some rippling and faint stains in the lower portion of the poster. There is a 1" tear in the lower left edge and there is a tax stamp at lower left, and a partial tax stamp with remnants from a stamp at lower center, extending into the art of Stewart's right leg. There is some writing in the upper right blank border. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
