An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14" x 21 1/2") (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's Rope (released outside the U.S. as "The Rope"), the classic 1948 Alfred Hitchcock New York City crime murder thriller ("Nothing ever held you like Alfred Hitchcock's ROPE"; "It begins with a shriek, It ends with a shot! From beginning to end nothing ever held you like Alfred Hitchcock's Rope"; "Screen play by Arthur Laurents"; "From the play by Patrick Hamilton"; loosely based on the Leopold/Loeb child murder trial; this movie had a gimmick in that the entire movie took place in what appears to be one extremely long "take"; to me, it just made it seem like watching a stage play, and took away what differentiates a movie from a stage play!) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), John Dall, Farley Granger, Cedric Hardwicke (billed as "Sir Cedric Hardwicke"), Constance Collier, Joan Chandler, (in her second movie role; one of only three movies she did in her entire career!) Douglas Dick, Dick Hogan, and Edith Evanson. Note that this was Hitchcock's first color film. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: MGM acquired the international rights to this movie in 1958, and did a major release of it at that time, and Universal Studios acquired the rights in 1964, and did their re-release in that year and in later years, so the poster surely dates from between 1958 and 1963. If anyone knows more about exactly when this French re-release took place, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this Belgian poster measures 14" x 21 1/2" and is linenbacked. Condition: fine. This poster was linenbacked and during the backing process, its extremely minor defects were repaired and it now looks really great! We only assigned this grade ("fine") to posters that were in really excellent condition prior to linenbacking, AND which were linenbacked by a top professional. The poster was never folded and was in quite nice condition prior to linenbacking, and it was well backed, and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
