Auction History Result 1r068 DIAL M FOR MURDER homemade TC 1954 Alfred Hitchcock, only the title and credits! Date Sold 10/26/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder, the classic 1954 Alfred Hitchcock 3-D (3D; 3-Dimension) romantic love triangle crime murder mystery detective suspense thriller ("...is that you, darling?"; "Written by Frederick Knott who wrote the International Stage Success"; "If a woman answers... hang on for dear life!"; "Is this the man she was waiting for... or the man who was waiting for her?"; "Perfect 3 Dimension in the Hitchcock manner!") starring Ray Milland, Grace Kelly, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), John Williams, and Anthony Dawson. Note that, although this movie was filmed in 3-D, none of the original posters mention it at all (there is an explanation in the pressbook that because they know many theaters will not show it in 3-D, "the ads have been designed so that the 3D copy may be eliminated" [and obviously, this is why they did not put 3-D on the posters]). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this set of lobby cards has no title card. Apparently, a theater was annoyed by that, and they had some local artist create their own title card, using a piece of what was likely a 30x40 (because it is heavy stock and has part of a poster on the back, but there is too little of it to tell what movie it is from). The unknown graphic designer did a fantastic job creating this (but of course, in retrospect, we know that he should have surely included Alfred Hitchcock's name!). Please bear in mind that it is not studio issued, and was surely created by a local theater or a poster exchange. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. This homemade local theater title card was printed on the back of part of a 30x40, or similar poster, but that does not affect the front (see our images). Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
