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!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. UPDATED 03/01/2013: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this poster is for a 1953 re-release and NOT the 1941 first release as we initially listed. We have updated the auction accordingly. Condition: very good. There is some creasing and tattering along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster (some from the poster being oddly folded at one time). There are a few light stains at the center crossfold and there are a few in the borders around the edges of the poster. There are tack holes scattered around the edges of the poster (mostly in the corners). The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition, and would display wonderfully just as it is, but if one chose to have it restored it would look great with little paint restoration needed!
