An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel Movie Poster (measures 47 1/2" x 62 3/4"; known as a 'grande' poster in France) (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, the classic 1963 Alfred Hitchcock suspense horror thriller ("Nothing you have ever witnessed before has prepared you for such sheer stabbing shock!"; "'It could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made!' - Alfred Hitchcock"; "'...and remember, the next scream you hear may be your own!'"; "The birds is here!"; "Daphne Du Maurier's shattering psychic thriller."; "Based on Daphne Du Maurier's Classic Suspense Story!") starring Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, Tippi Hedren (billed as "Introducing 'Tippi' Hedren, A Fascinating New Personality"), Veronica Cartwright (13 years old), and Richard Deacon. Note that Alfred Hitchcock used the two taglines "The birds is coming!" and "The birds is here!" on several different types of advertising for this movie, no doubt because he thought it was funny that while it is technically grammatically correct when referring to the movie, they "sound wrong"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Grinsson Important Added Info: Note that this French one-panel measures 47 1/2" x 62 3/4". Condition: good to very good. The poster had stains and smudges scattered throughout, and the person who restored the poster did fairly extensive restoration over those areas (there was a large area in the top section of the poster in the upper body of the very large bird and there were areas in Hedren's cheek at the center of the poster and areas in the background between the letters of the title). There was tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and creases, tears, and separation on several foldlines. There were pinholes around the edges of the poster. The poster looks better in person than it does in our image, because we could not get the poster to lay completely flat, and there is some reflection around the edges of the image that creates a distortion in those areas that makes the color look far less even than it is. The poster looks pretty nice, but it has had pretty extensive restoration, so please do not bid on this poster unless you have read the above carefully, and can accept the restoration this poster has had!
