Auction History Result 4g0424 ROPE Belgian R1960s great art of James Stewart holding the rope, Alfred Hitchcock classic! Date Sold 5/11/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-Release Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14" x 21" [36 x 53 cm]) (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's Rope (released outside the U.S. as "The Rope"), the classic 1948 Alfred Hitchcock New York City crime murder thriller ("Nothing ever held you like Alfred Hitchcock's ROPE"; "It begins with a shriek, It ends with a shot! From beginning to end nothing ever held you like Alfred Hitchcock's Rope"; "Screen play by Arthur Laurents"; "From the play by Patrick Hamilton"; loosely based on the Leopold/Loeb child murder trial; this movie had a gimmick in that the entire movie took place in what appears to be one extremely long "take"; to me, it just made it seem like watching a stage play, and took away what differentiates a movie from a stage play!) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), John Dall, Farley Granger, Cedric Hardwicke (billed as "Sir Cedric Hardwicke"), Constance Collier, Joan Chandler, (in her second movie role; one of only three movies she did in her entire career!) Douglas Dick, Dick Hogan, and Edith Evanson. Note that this was Hitchcock's first color film. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that, in 1958, MGM acquired the distribution rights for this Alfred Hitchcock classic from Warner Bros. (I am not certain if it included distribution rights within the U.S., or only outside the U.S.). They printed a really cool all new posters and a title card that have a giant image of Alfred Hitchcock looming above Jimmy Stewart (and they also used the image for several other non-U.S. releases, including this one). MGM acquired the international rights to this movie in 1958, and did a major release of it at that time, and Universal Studios acquired the rights in 1964, and did their re-release in that year and in later years, so the poster surely dates from between 1958 and 1963. If anyone knows more about exactly when this Belgian re-release took place, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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: very good. The poster has a few tiny border defects but overall it is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
