An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #6 (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, the classic 1958 Alfred Hitchcock San Francisco California suspense obsessive love crime mystery thriller ("Alfred Hitchcock's Masterpiece"; "Based upon the novel D'Entre Les Morts by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac"; "Music by Bernard Herrmann"; about a man with a fear of heights who is caught up in a murder, or is he?, and he meets a woman who looks very similar to the "dead girl", and he becomes obsessed with solving the mystery) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Kim Novak (in a dual role), Barbara Bel Geddes, Tom Helmore, and Henry Jones. Note that John Whitney Sr. (who did the spiral title sequence for the movie) also did the spiral art for the posters from this movie, which was utilized by the poster artist Saul Bass. Also note that Alfred Hitchcock did not make a final decision on what to name this movie until the last minute! At various times, it had working titles of Darkling I Listen, Fear and Trembling, From Among the Dead, and Illicit Darkening. Many of the early advertising stills don't have a title at all, but say "An Alfred Hitchcock Production". Personally, we think "Vertigo" is a better title than any of those other four! Finally, note that critical acclaim for this movie has consistently risen in the years since it was first released. In fact, in the 2012 "Sight and Sound" poll of top movie critics, Vertigo was declared to be the number one film of all time, over Citizen Kane, and every other masterpiece! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. there is brown tape on the back of the entire right and bottom borders and on the back of the bottom 2" of the left border (apparently this card was taped to other lobby cards at one time); the tape has next-to-no effect on the front, except you can feel that the card is thicker in those areas, and you can very slightly see the slightest bleed through from the tape in the left and right borders (you have to look very hard to see it); there is a triangular stain in the lower left of the image just below Stewart's hand extending to the top of the "E" of "ALFRED"; there are two pen marks in the top right corner; apparently, when the card was taped to another card, someone cut this card free of the other card, and in doing so trimmed the slightest amount of the top 3" of the right blank border, and caused a couple of extremely tiny tears; there is a very light partial vertical crease running down the right 3" of the card; you can see a trace of it in Novak's body, but it is really much more seen when the card is turned over; there is a light 2" horizontal crease running through the middle of Kim Novak's credit; there are a few other minor creases around the edges of the card. The card is in better condition than the above makes it sound! Most of what is described is not really noticeable or distracting. The card displays well as is and I think most collectors would be happy to have it on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
