Description

To Catch a Thief (Paramount, 1955). Insert (14" X 36").
Cary Grant is his usual cool, suave and oh-so-elegant self in To Catch a Thief. He's a retired cat burglar who falls prey to the charms of the even more elegant Grace Kelly in Alfred Hitchcock's mystery set in the casinos of Monte Carlo. Hitchcock hit his stride in the 1950s and this film showed the master director's skill like no other. The posters for Hitchcock's films during this time are also among his most collectible and graphically appealing. Minor handling includes pinholes and staple holes in the background, edge and fold wear, extra horizontal creasing, wrinkling, and small surface paper loss in the middle background. A favorite piece for Hitchcock collectors! Folded, Fine/Very Fine.
