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!

The poster's bottom white area was neatly trimmed off and it had an extra horizontal fold 3" above the regular bottom foldline and another one 1/2" below the regular bottom foldline. There was minor wear on the foldlines and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and the restorer recreated the missing bottom area, and it displays quite well! Learn More about condition grades
