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!

Condition: very good. the poster is paperbacked; it has had really wonderful restoration, and it is difficult to see exactly what was done even from inches away!; the poster had a 5" tear starting in the middle of the right blank border and extending into the image background and it appears there was small paper loss in the image background near the end of the tear; it also appears there was paper loss in the upper middle of the left border that extended into Grant's right cheek; this area was really wonderfully replaced!; other than these defects, it only appears that the poster had some minor stains and smudges in the borders, and they have been rendered virtually invisible through restoration; The poster really looks wonderful and I can't imagine a collector who would not be happy to have it in their collection!
