Auction History Result 4d0111 VERTIGO 8 LCs 1958 Alfred Hitchcock classic, James Stewart, Kim Novak, rare complete set! Date Sold 4/16/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (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!

Important Added Info: Note that we have auctioned over one hundred first release lobby cards from this movie in all our years of auctioning, but we have only once before auctioned a complete set of 8 cards! That's almost surely because this movie has long been a highly desired title among movie buffs for many years, and those sets were likely all sold individually by the card many years ago, and likely the only way now to get a complete set is to assemble it "one card at a time" (or by buying this complete set from this auction). Condition: very good. Some of the cards have tiny staple holes or creases in parts of the borders, and the #1 card has a tear and tiny paper loss in the center of the top border, caused by rough removal of the staple, and that same card has a small stain in the lower right border. That one card is in "good to very good" condition, and the other cards are solidly "very good", with a couple very close to "very good to fine". Please look at our super-sized images to see exactly what condition each card is in. Learn More about condition grades
