Warner Bros. bring you a pounding new tempo to motion picture entertainment."; "It starts with the shriek of a train whistle... and ends with shrieking excitement!"; "Warner Bros.

Carroll, Patricia Hitchcock, Kasey Rogers, and Marion Lorne NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Rodolfo Gasparri Important Added Info: Note that we have never seen this really cool re-release Italian two-panel before (with both a great skeleton hand art image and Hitchcock looking at the hand). We have also never seen the one-panel from this re-release, and while we have never auctioned it, the only Italian poster we have seen is a locandina, so Italian posters from this re-release are surely quite rare! Also note that this Italian two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Also note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Condition: good. The theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Also, there is a large paper snipe glued over the top center (it says "The Grand Return of Alfred Hitchcock"), and there is also a small rating snipe glued over the black background at the center of the poster. The poster also has tears and tiny paper loss on parts of some foldlines and in parts of the borders. Surely this wonderful poster can have its snipes removed by a talented professional, and after proper linenbacking and restoration, the poster will look incredible, but please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this poster.
