An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style Y Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, the classic 1958 Alfred Hitchcock San Francisco California suspense obsessive love crime mystery thriller ("Alfred Hitchcock's Masterpiece"; "Alfred Hitchcock engulfs you in a whirlpool of terror and tension"; "Based upon the novel D'Entre Les Morts by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac"; "Music by Bernard Herrmann"; about a man with a fear of heights who is caught up in a murder, or is he?, and he meets a woman who looks very similar to the "dead girl", and he becomes obsessed with solving the mystery) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Kim Novak (in a dual role), Barbara Bel Geddes, Tom Helmore, and Henry Jones. Note that John Whitney Sr. (who did the spiral title sequence for the movie) also did the spiral art for the posters from this movie, which was utilized by the poster artist Saul Bass. Also note that Alfred Hitchcock did not make a final decision on what to name this movie until the last minute! At various times, it had working titles of Darkling I Listen, Fear and Trembling, From Among the Dead, and Illicit Darkening. Many of the early advertising stills don't have a title at all, but say "An Alfred Hitchcock Production". Personally, we think "Vertigo" is a better title than any of those other four! Finally, note that critical acclaim for this movie has consistently risen in the years since it was first released. In fact, in the 2012 "Sight and Sound" poll of top movie critics, Vertigo was declared to be the number one film of all time, over Citizen Kane, and every other masterpiece!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this 40x60 poster, and that example was heavily faded and in "poor to fair" condition, and it still sold for $905! We have never auctioned a 30x40 either, and while this poster has Saul Bass art, it also has quite a bit of other imagery, making it even more rare and unusual. Condition: good. The poster has many creases, smudges, and scuffs scattered throughout (see our image). It has a tear in the orange background above the "S" of "STEWART" at the top center. It has many tiny creases and extremely tiny tears down the left and right. Obviously, one would prefer to find this poster in better condition, but the only other example of it we are aware of is in FAR lesser condition than this one, and it might be many years before we are consigned another example of this poster in ANY condition!
