An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound, the 1945 Alfred Hitchcock (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) amnesia romantic psychological suspense thriller ("This is love!"; "Complete... Reckless... Violent!"; "Forever ...Irresistibly Spellbound!"; "Irresistible their love! Inescapable their fears!"; "The Maddest Love that ever possessed a woman"; "These two together to hold you"; "Screenplay by Ben Hecht"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; a strange story of an amnesiac in a hospital who is discovered to be posing as a doctor, but when the doctor is found dead, a female psychiatrist, who has fallen in love with him, tries to find out who he really is and who really killed the doctor; the surreal dream sequences in this movie were designed by Salvador Dali!) starring Ingrid Bergman (billed as "Ingrid Bergman's First Picture since winning the Academy Award"; as a psychiatrist!), Gregory Peck, Michael Chekhov (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Leo G. Carroll, Donald Curtis, Rhonda Fleming (in her first real role, as a nymphomaniac!), Norman Lloyd, John Emery, Regis Toomey, Addison Richards, and Art Baker. Note that Rhonda Fleming was just 22 and had not had any real parts before being cast in this movie. But when she learned she was a "nymphomaniac", she said "I didn't even know what a nymphomaniac was. My mother and I had to look it up in the dictionary."!

Important Added Info: Note that, other than the three tiny areas of tape on the back of the card described below, this card is completely unrestored and has never had any restoration of any kind, nor has there been any tape on the front or back of the card. The back of the card is completely blank, except for a 1/2" x 2" printed white sticker (in the center of the back of the card) which was put on by the owner of the collection, and has no effect on the front of the card. Condition: very good. There is a very faint scuff line in the top center of the image running from the left edge of Peck's hair at top left, through his hair and through the background area, and ending in the edge of the collar of the other Peck image, and there is a 1" faint scuff line beneath the left of that one in the background area. There is a 1/2" tear in the upper left blank border and a 1/2" crease 1" above that, and someone mended the tear with a small piece of tape on the back. There were two 1/2" tears in the upper middle and lower middle right blank border, and both were mended with small pieces of tape from the back. There is a small area of surface paper loss in the lower right blank border (likely caused removal of a piece of tape). There is a 1 1/2" faint vertical scuff in the top right of the image in Bergman's hair and her bottom finger. There are some faint creases and smudges in the borders. There is a faint crease that is approximately 3" long in the upper right of the card in Bergman's forehead and hair just next to her fingers, but it is truly not at all noticeable from the front (I had to turn over the card to see it). There are some scuff marks in the last four letters of Bergman's last name in her credit area. The card is in better condition than the above makes it sound! The defects are truly barely noticeable at all, and I think almost any collector would be quite happy to display this great card on their wall "as is", although any talented restorer could easily perform tiny touch up to the above defects. IN THIS SPECIAL ALFRED HITCHCOCK LOBBY CARD AUCTION, we have given a more detailed overall condition grade along with more details about the condition described in words. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, plus there are some defects (like tape on the back, extremely tiny pinholes, etc) which can be VERY difficult to see, even in our largest "super-sized" image. Therefore we strongly recommend that you BOTH read our written description of the item, AND ALSO look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe. We have also noted what, if anything, is on the back the lobby card, and whether it has ANY restoration of any kind, including amateur tape restoration. Learn More about condition grades
