Auction History Result 3j0271 MAN FROM HOME LC 1922 Alfred Hitchcock was the title designed AND art director, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/20/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Man from Home, the 1922 George Fitzmaurice silent romantic crime melodrama ("From the play by Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson"; with titles designed by Alfred Hitchcock, who was also the art director; about an American heiress visiting Italy, whose fiance saves a fisherman who is accused of stabbing his wife) starring James Kirkwood, Anna Q. Nilsson, Geoffrey Kerr, Norman Kerry, and Dorothy Cumming. Note that this was one of 11 movies made between 1920 and 1922 where a very young Alfred Hitchcock was the "title designer" and also one of 9 movies between 1922 and 1925 where he was art director (we suspect that this might be the only movie that he did both jobs on, because he transitioned from a title designer to an art director!). Original movie paper from any of these 19 or so movies is beyond rare and is the most difficult Alfred Hitchcock material to obtain! Of course, not long after this, he went on to become a director, and to say that he had considerable success would be an understatement. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, ANY movie paper items from this Alfred Hitchcock movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a glass slide from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this lobby card! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good to fine. There is a tiny pinhole in each corner, with one in the first "O" of "KIRKWOOD" at lower right. There are a few faint smudges scattered in the blank white areas. Otherwise, the card is in very nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
