Auction History Result 2t0510 MURDER English movie magazine supplement 1930 Alfred Hitchcock, country of origin, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/30/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage English Movie Magazine Supplement (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm]) (Learn More) Murder!, the 1930 Alfred Hitchcock English murder mystery crime jury trial melodrama (about a juror who votes with the rest of the jury to convict a woman of murder, but afterwards, he starts to doubt the verdict, and he sets about trying to prove her innocent!) starring Herbert Marshall, Norah Baring, Phyllis Konstam, Edward Chapman, Miles Mander, and Esme Percy. This was one of the only movies Alfred Hitchcock made where it was a "whodunit", where the audience doesn't know who the actual murderer is until the very end of the movie, and there is a climactic scene in a circus that everyone agrees is one of Hitchcock's best sequences ever! Also, note that a key character in the source novel by Clemence Dane and Helen Simpson was gay, but Hitchcock changed that character to a "half caste". Note that this movie was made in simultaneous English and German versions. The German version starred German actors and was called "Mary". This English version starred Herbert Marshall, and was released in the U.S. as "Murder". They are exactly the same movies, except for the language difference and the different cast (this is very similar to the 1931 U.S. and Mexican versions of "Dracula"), except in this case, the same director, Alfred Hitchcock, directed both versions. Original movie paper of any kind from EITHER version is unbelievably scarce. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is among the very most rare of all Alfred Hitchcock directed titles to find any movie paper from. This movie magazine supplement page IS from the first release of this movie in 1930, and it is "country of origin"! Also note that on the back of the page are images from "Whoopee". Also note that in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the top English movie magazines started including "supplements" in the center of the magazine (sometimes they were bound in, and sometimes they were loose). These were like the Sunday newspaper "rotogravure" sections, and were all sepia and had great images from then-current movies. This supplement is from the May 2, 1931 issue of Picture Show.
