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!

We have only auctioned two examples in all our years of auctioning and the last time was nine years ago (and poster we first auctioned in 2013 has been reconsigned to us for this auction, so we have still only auctioned two examples of this poster!). Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has some jagged tears and tiny paper loss to the right of the crossfold (fortunately, they are in Grant's pant leg and in the background to the right of it). There is a small tear in the top and bottom of the vertical foldline, with some pretty minor wear on the rest of the folds. There are some thumb tack holes around the edges.
