A 1953 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More)

Suspicion, the 1941 Alfred Hitchcock crime film noir mystery thriller ("Each time they kissed... There was the thrill of love... The threat of murder!"; "She won your heart in 'Rebecca'! He drew your cheers in 'Philadelphia Story'. Thrill to them together in a suspense-romance directed by the man who did 'Rebecca'"; "Screen play by Samson Raphaelson, Joan Harrison, Alma Reville [Hitchcock's wife]"; "Based on the novel 'Before the Fact' by Francis Iles"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Cary Grant, Joan Fontaine (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Nigel Bruce, Dame May Whitty, Lumsden Hare, Vernon Downing, and Auriol Lee. Note that there is controversy about the ending of this movie! Many people say that Hitchcock intended the movie to end with Grant killing Fontaine, and that the studio insisted that he change it (to preserve Grant's positive public image), but others say that this is an urban legend, and that the movie was always intended to end the way it did!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that original 1941 U.S. posters from this title are quite rare! It is probably because the movie was re-released in both 1953 and in 1957, and it is likely that poster exchanges used up all of their 1941 posters during those re-releases. So for the vast majority of collectors, the only way to get an early poster on this movie is to get one from a 1950s re-release, and this 1953 re-release three-sheet actually has a much superior image and tagline to that of the original poster (which has a small image, no tagline, and a lot of white space).

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had only minor fold and border wear and was in "very good to fine" condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, but at some point after it was backed, it was exposed to moisture, and there are now tiny brown dot stains scattered throughout the poster, and the linen itself, but fortunately, because so much of the poster consists of dark colors, most of it is either not very noticeable at all, or looks like it could be part of the image. The most noticeable areas are in the center of the poster, in Fontaine's dress and neck, and quite fortunately, they are really almost unnoticeable in the stars' faces. I would think many people could display this cool poster just as it is, but please look closely at our super-sized image and consider the above before placing a bid on this poster.
