Description

Rear Window (Paramount, 1954). Three Sheet (41" X 81"). This film masterpiece was made entirely on one confined set built at Paramount Studios - a realistic courtyard composed of 32 apartments (12 completely furnished) - at a non-existent address in Manhattan (125 W. 9th Street). This is an intriguing, brilliant, macabre visual study by master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, of obsessive human curiosity and voyeurism. John Michael Hayes' screenplay was based on Cornell Woolrich's original 1942 short story or novelette, It Had to Be Murder. This rare three sheet had some border and foldwear which is typical of the larger format posters of the period. There was a sizable chip from the lower panel at the top left, just where it joins the larger panel. The poster has been conserved on linen and it now appears to be as brilliant as the day it was printed. Very Fine- on Linen.
