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!

Artist: Signor Pietro Annigoni Important Added Info: Note that on Monday, October 31, 1955, there was a special performance of this movie at the Odeon Theatre in Leicester Square, London, and that special single showing (which Her Majesty the Queen attended) was to aid the "Cinematograph Trade Benevolent Fund". This elaborate 218-page square-bound program book was created for this one performance only, and it is surely extremely rare. It comes with two ticket stubs from someone who attended the performance (see our images). Also note that we have provided an image of the cover and 9 of the pages of this 218-page program (as well as the two ticket stubs). You can use these images to determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are many other pages you are not seeing. Condition: very good. There is faint staining on the back cover and minor wear on the front cover. Otherwise, the program book is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
