Auction History Result Q806 VERTIGO one-sheet movie poster '58 James Stewart, Kim Novak Date Sold 5/4/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, the classic 1958 Alfred Hitchcock San Francisco California suspense obsessive love crime mystery thriller ("Alfred Hitchcock's Masterpiece"; "Based upon the novel D'Entre Les Morts by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac"; "Music by Bernard Herrmann"; about a man with a fear of heights who is caught up in a murder, or is he?, and he meets a woman who looks very similar to the "dead girl", and he becomes obsessed with solving the mystery) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Kim Novak (in a dual role), Barbara Bel Geddes, Tom Helmore, and Henry Jones. Note that John Whitney Sr. (who did the spiral title sequence for the movie) also did the spiral art for the posters from this movie, which was utilized by the poster artist Saul Bass. Also note that Alfred Hitchcock did not make a final decision on what to name this movie until the last minute! At various times, it had working titles of Darkling I Listen, Fear and Trembling, From Among the Dead, and Illicit Darkening. Many of the early advertising stills don't have a title at all, but say "An Alfred Hitchcock Production". Personally, we think "Vertigo" is a better title than any of those other four! Finally, note that critical acclaim for this movie has consistently risen in the years since it was first released. In fact, in the 2012 "Sight and Sound" poll of top movie critics, Vertigo was declared to be the number one film of all time, over Citizen Kane, and every other masterpiece! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Saul Bass Condition: very good. the poster is lightly rippled throughout (more so around the edges). No doubt this was caused by light water staining or exposure to moisture, but there is no staining on the poster (front or back); there are staple holes in the right border and a pinhole in each corner; other than the above defects, the poster is in quite nice condition. If it were linenbacked, it would look really fantastic, and it would not have virtually any restoration! Note that we have auctioned several examples of this poster in the past 6 months. They were consigned by a single collector. This is the FINAL example of this poster that he has! Learn More about condition grades
