Date Sold 7/14/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder, the classic 1954 Alfred Hitchcock 3-D (3D; 3-Dimension) romantic love triangle crime murder mystery detective suspense thriller ("...is that you, darling?"; "Written by Frederick Knott who wrote the International Stage Success"; "If a woman answers... hang on for dear life!"; "Is this the man she was waiting for... or the man who was waiting for her?"; "Perfect 3 Dimension in the Hitchcock manner!") starring Ray Milland, Grace Kelly, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), John Williams, and Anthony Dawson. Note that, although this movie was filmed in 3-D, none of the original posters mention it at all (there is an explanation in the pressbook that because they know many theaters will not show it in 3-D, "the ads have been designed so that the 3D copy may be eliminated" [and obviously, this is why they did not put 3-D on the posters]). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that it is rare to find a complete set of cards from this classic movie. It seems likely that the vast majority of sets were broken up and sold by the card many years ago (this would be even more likely because there is no title card, and also because all the cards are pretty nice, showing, important moments from the movie. The last time we auctioned a complete set of these cards was in 2009, and that set was also in "good to very good" condition, and it sold for $750.00 Condition: good to very good. Most of the cards have a thin strip of water staining in the bottom edge of the bottom blank border. In some it is solely in the right of the bottom border, but on some it is in a greater part of the card, and two of the cards have no staining. Most have some other border defects, like smudging and a few pinholes. One has two yellow tape stains at the top. Some have a few smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. The cards would display pretty well as they are, or it would not be difficult to perform restoration to the above defects. Please look at our super-sized images before placing a bid on this great set of cards. Learn More about condition grades
