Auction History Result 7e001 BIRDS linen Cuban '75 Alfred Hitchcock classic, cool completely different art by Silvio! Date Sold 3/5/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1975 (from the first release of this movie in Cuba) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Cuban Movie Poster (measures 20" x 30" [51 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, the classic 1963 Alfred Hitchcock suspense horror thriller ("Nothing you have ever witnessed before has prepared you for such sheer stabbing shock!"; "'It could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made!' - Alfred Hitchcock"; "'...and remember, the next scream you hear may be your own!'"; "The birds is here!"; "Daphne Du Maurier's shattering psychic thriller."; "Based on Daphne Du Maurier's Classic Suspense Story!") starring Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, Tippi Hedren (billed as "Introducing 'Tippi' Hedren, A Fascinating New Personality"), Veronica Cartwright (13 years old), and Richard Deacon. Note that Alfred Hitchcock used the two taglines "The birds is coming!" and "The birds is here!" on several different types of advertising for this movie, no doubt because he thought it was funny that while it is technically grammatically correct when referring to the movie, they "sound wrong"!

Artist: Silvio Important Added Info: Note that original release Cuban posters are very rare, and most of the ones we have seen have been from Cuban or Communist movies. Ones from mainstream U.S. movies are even more rare, and we have never seen or heard of this really poster before! Note that there are reproductions of some Cuban posters, but they are on a "newer" paper, and the poster offered here is surely the original Cuban poster from 1975 (when this movie was first released there). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had many smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the blue background areas (it appears to be something about the blue ink that was used, because it is not in the other colored areas). There are pinholes down the left and right sides, with many small tears in the bottom and right borders, with two of the tears in the right border entering the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
