British Quad (30" x 40"); Style B
Very Fine on Linen
Paramount British, 1960

Collectors highly value the movie poster offered here, the humorous U.K. quad version. Hitchcock displays clever showmanship, warning that late entry to the theater is strictly prohibited and non-compliant patrons may be removed. We are thrilled to unveil this exceptional British quad for the first time, which is much rarer than the Janet Leigh version. It is considered one of the best advertisements for the film's original release from any country.

This poster has been professionally linen-mounted and was previously folded with minimal fold wear. The only imperfection of note is a tiny hole, about a sixteenth of an inch in diameter, in the lower black field. The fluorescent orange color is still vibrant.

Every element came together perfectly for this thrilling production: Alfred Hitchcock's tight direction, Bernard Hermann's haunting and memorable score, and an outstanding cast led by Janet Leigh (as Marion Crane) and Anthony Perkins. Perkins brought to life one of cinema's most frightening characters, the tormented Norman Bates.
