An Original Vintage English Movie Souvenir Program Book (measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" [14 x 22 cm]; 9 pages) (Learn More)

Murder!, the 1930 Alfred Hitchcock English murder mystery crime jury trial melodrama (about a juror who votes with the rest of the jury to convict a woman of murder, but afterwards, he starts to doubt the verdict, and he sets about trying to prove her innocent!) starring Herbert Marshall, Norah Baring, Phyllis Konstam, Edward Chapman, Miles Mander, and Esme Percy. This was one of the only movies Alfred Hitchcock made where it was a "whodunit", where the audience doesn't know who the actual murderer is until the very end of the movie, and there is a climactic scene in a circus that everyone agrees is one of Hitchcock's best sequences ever! Also, note that a key character in the source novel by Clemence Dane and Helen Simpson was gay, but Hitchcock changed that character to a "half caste".

Note that this movie was made in simultaneous English and German versions. The German version starred German actors and was called "Mary". This English version starred Herbert Marshall, and was released in the U.S. as "Murder". They are exactly the same movies, except for the language difference and the different cast (this is very similar to the 1931 U.S. and Mexican versions of "Dracula"), except in this case, the same director, Alfred Hitchcock, directed both versions. Original movie paper of any kind from EITHER version is unbelievably scarce.

Important Added Info: Note that this English program is part of an amazing find! As noted above, original movie paper from the English language version of this movie is incredibly scarce (and we have only auctioned a single German program from the German version). But now we have been consigned an original English program, plus three original English stills from the English version! Not only are these "country of origin", but these are also the only four items from this English language version of this Alfred Hitchcock movie that we have ever auctioned (they are being auctioned in four separate auctions)! Also note that we have pictured the front cover and three interior 2-page spreads from this program. You can use these images to determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are some other pages you are not seeing.

Condition: very good to fine.
