Note that Cary Grant had announced his retirement from movies in 1953, but he was lured out of retirement by Hitchcock to make this one. Also note that Jessie Royce Landis, who had played Grant's mother in "North by Northwest", this time played his potential mother-in-law, and yet, she was only eight years older than Grant, who had aged very well!

The poster had creases and scuffs on the folds, with some creases, smudges, and faint stains scattered throughout. There were pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges, with some extending into the edges of the image. There were two extra horizontal folds in the bottom image area. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects, and the restorer painted over much of the blue background of the credits box, to "even it out"..
