Regarded as one of Hitchcock's classiest Films -- this is a poster that certainly does the film justice. Arguably the best artwork for To Catch A Thief -- sorry Harry -- it presents great images of the two charismatic leads: Cary Grant & Grace Kelly. A really quintessential 1950's Poster & extremely rare (Christies last had a Quad for the Film back in 2006).I'm not aware of a UK Quad for this film being available anywhere else.

I had the poster professionally restored & Linen-Backed by Movie Poster Art Gallery in London. Prior to Restoration there was a piece missing on the top left corner. Otherwise, there are a few old edge nicks apparent & some light surface marking (namely on Cary Grant's chin) but to all intents & purposes the Poster displays superbly, the colours remaining bright & vibrant. I'd give it an overall condition grading of B-

I can't imagine there are too many of these left on the planet...

Serious enquiries about price, more pictures etc: contact fatmelonfilms AT ntlworld.com or PM me via the forum.

thanks

[stewart boyle]

You`ll get it eventually..

Stew

[scartacus]

I'm sorry to hear you are letting it go!  She's a beauty!

[scartacus]

Harry. I've got a couple more coming up on the sell list so stay tuned..

Ridiculously astounding - it should sell for $2500 or more based on Christie's past results:



To post an image, copy its "image URL" (usually you can get this by right clicking any image).  Then go to the forum, click the insert image button and paste the image URL between {img} and {/img}  (The brackets have been changed in this example.)

Mel to the rescue -- thanks!

Wish I could afford it Dominic, it's a first rate piece. Good luck with it, hope you get a good price.
