An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 1/2" x 9 1/4" [19 x 23 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Suspicion, the 1941 Alfred Hitchcock crime film noir mystery thriller ("Each time they kissed... There was the thrill of love... The threat of murder!"; "She won your heart in 'Rebecca'! He drew your cheers in 'Philadelphia Story'. Thrill to them together in a suspense-romance directed by the man who did 'Rebecca'"; "Screen play by Samson Raphaelson, Joan Harrison, Alma Reville [Hitchcock's wife]"; "Based on the novel 'Before the Fact' by Francis Iles"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Cary Grant, Joan Fontaine (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Nigel Bruce, Dame May Whitty, Lumsden Hare, Vernon Downing, and Auriol Lee. Note that there is controversy about the ending of this movie! Many people say that Hitchcock intended the movie to end with Grant killing Fontaine, and that the studio insisted that he change it (to preserve Grant's positive public image), but others say that this is an urban legend, and that the movie was always intended to end the way it did!

Important Added Info: Note that this great candid still, which measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/4" [19 x 23 cm] but has not been trimmed, shows Alfred Hitchcock supposedly listening to cameraman Harry Stradling talking to him, and the snipe says that he is "NOT dozing", but we have our doubts! Note that this still is from a pretty remarkable collection of 20 Alfred Hitchcock stills we were consigned (which we are auctioning in 20 separate auctions). They include ones from many of his greatest movies, and seven of them have wonderful candid images showing Hitchcock, and this is one of those seven! This is a very rare opportunity to purchase some of the finest Hitchcock stills we have ever auctioned! Condition: good to very good. The still is lightly rippled throughout, caused by the snipe glued to the back. Learn More about condition grades
