An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style Y Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, the classic 1954 Alfred Hitchcock (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) thriller ("The master of suspense brings you his masterpiece!"; "Based on the short story by Cornell Woolrich"; "Screenplay by John Michael Hayes"; about a man who breaks his leg and is forced to stay at his home until he's better; during this time he observes his neighbors and does some voyeuristic detective work) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; as Jeff), Grace Kelly (as Lisa), Wendell Corey (as Detective Lt. Doyle), Thelma Ritter (as Stella), Raymond Burr (as Lars Thorwald), Judith Evelyn (as Miss Lonelyhearts), Georgine Darcy (as Miss Torso), Jesslyn Fax (as Miss Hearing Aid), Rand Harper, Havis Davenport (Harper and Davenport played the "newlyweds"), and Ross Bagdasarian (as the "Songwriter"). Note that Raymond Burr had appeared in movies for seven years before this, but always had minor roles, usually playing the "heavy". It would be three more years before his big break in 1957, when he became TV's "Perry Mason"! 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 we never before auctioned this style Y 30x40 (and we have only previously auctioned one example of the style Z 30x40, and it sold for $5,350)! We are also currently auctioning a style Z 30x40 in a separate auction. Note that while this poster could conceivably be rolled, we would much prefer to send it in a very large flat package, which measures approximately 32" x 42". We will only send it rolled if the new owner accepts responsibility for any damage caused while it is being shipped. Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has some creases, smudges, and scuffs scattered throughout, typical of 30x40s of this period. It has some smudges around the edges, with a small tear near the center of the left border. It has a 2" tear near the center of the right border and someone put tape on the back of that tear and tape on the back of two small tears beneath it. There is also a piece of tape on the back of a tear in the center of the top blank border. I would think the vast majority of collectors would be happy to display this wonderful poster on their wall as it is, but certainly, restoration could be performed if one wanted to.
