Description

The Lodger (20th Century Fox, 1944). French Grande (47" X 63").
Based on the novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes, this Jack the Ripper story had been filmed at least twice before (once by Hitchcock), but many film fans consider this version to be the best, with Laird Cregar's creepy performance and the atmospheric direction of John Brahm elevating the film to the status of minor classic. This evocative French grande, with stylized artwork by Roger Jacquier Rojac, is perhaps the best poster for this film, featuring the haunting image of Cregar. The poster had light edge wear, some border chipping, and minor fold wear, all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
