Original section of the ALFRED HITCHCOCK movie poster sent to the theatre in 1963 for the movie "The BIRDS". Would still make a beautiful framed piece of collectible memorabilia. Uncut posters are selling for thousands so having a good portion of one is the NEXT BEST THING.

The next best thing line is pure marketing genius.

Maybe they have the rest of the insert to go with it. Or maybe they think they should frame it as is. We need a shoulder shrug icon.

Thank you for correcting me, as is to be expected Harry is I am sure correct. Foreign posters of this age are very admittedly well outside of my expertise.

There must be some gold beneath the poster, not showing in the pic. Hence the price.

Of all the three sheets they could have found the C is the best by far. Similar artwork tot he window card. Can't wait to see it. Too bad it will be out of my price range.

Is there a known Frankenstein pressbook?

As an aside, between the Franky 3-sheet and the LAMs I'm starting to think that what is "known" doesn't mean shit!

I did some Google digging and I could not find a US book for the original release.

That said do we believe this is legitimately one of the 3 sheet styles (doesn't look right to me)?

Harry Caul · « **Reply #6447 on:** February 17, 2015, 03:16:04 PM »

That looks locally produced to me.

A great point!....It is interesting to see what happens when these pieces come to market...there are so many fluctuations in these signature auctions...but when material of this caliber shows up...the fact that it is "previously unseen" or "only known copy" really adds to the fireworks...after watching the last LAM auction...striking while the iron is hot...after greasing the wheels with that record breaking result seems like a smart move...

CSM · « **Reply #6449 on:** February 17, 2015, 03:29:39 PM »

Here's another thought - will it be incomplete like the LAM?
