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.

They look like regular lobby cards, but they are printed entirely in French, so we think they were likely created for use in French speaking parts of Canada (we don't know if they were printed in the U.S. or in Canada). If anyone knows more about these cards, please e-mail us and we will post it here. UPDATED 02/02/2011: Note that a sharp-eyed collector pointed out that this was a SpanUS lobby card and not FrenchUS as we initially listed. Condition: good. There are some stains around the edges of the card. There is a piece of clear tape on the back of the pinholes in the bottom right corner. Learn More about condition grades
