Note that this movie dealt with World War II and spies, and it was a clear statement from director Hitchcock that the war would soon involve every country, especially the United States, because there was no way to remain "neutral" when all those around you are at war. Finally, note that the movie credits the screenwriting to Charles Bennett and Joan Harrison, and notes that additional dialog was written by Robert Benchley and James Hilton (celebrated author of Lost Horizon and Goodbye, Mr. Chips), and Ben Hecht and Richard Maibaum apparently also contributed dialog, although they were uncredited!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster may or may not have been trimmed and it measures 13" x 17 3/4" [33 x 45 cm]. We don't know if it is trimmed, because it looks like it may have been printed with a "full bleed" on all four sides and may never have had blank borders, but the lower right border seems uneven, so it may well have been trimmed. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster may or may not have had blank borders and a blank top that were neatly trimmed off . It was folded once in each direction and it had very minor wear on the foldlines and some scuffs in the lower left corner. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
