VERTIGO (1958) 21814

Original Italian 4-Foglio Poster (55x79). Folded. Very Fine.

Original Italian 4-Foglio Poster (55x79)is a large-format poster for the Alfred Hitchcock mystery thriller masterpiece, VERTIGO (1958) starring James Stewart, Kim Novak, and Barbara Bel Geddes. This Hitchcock classic tells the story of a former San Francisco detective (Stewart) suffering from acrophobia who investigates the strange activities of an old friend's wife, all the while becoming dangerously obsessed with her. Hitchcock creates some of his most hypnotic scenes in this film as well as a general sense of unease and dread-- even in seemingly banal situations. Bernard Herrmann's excellent score is a perfect compliment to this complex and suspenseful story. The score is perhaps more important here than in most films, because much of the story is told simply with Stewart's and Novak's facial expressions and the music. Stewart gives one of the best performances of his career, and Novak is completely convincing in her dual roles. This original Italian poster is folded, printed on two panels, and is in very fine condition. The two separate panels are joined together to make one large format poster. Art by Enzo Nistri.
