<B>Under Capricorn (Warner Brothers, 1949).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41"). Alfred Hitchcock rarely did costume drama, but he brings to the genre several innovations learned in some of his leaner thrillers and mysteries. Most notably, he uses several long takes similar to those continuous shots that composed "Rope." Hitchcock brings an immediacy to scenes that could be staid and stale, and this poster perfectly captures the urgency that most melodramas are too bloated to achieve. The vibrant pink and blue of the costumes still throb on the paper. Small dirt smudges at the top are barely noticeable when the eye is so strongly drawn to the art. The edges show little wear, and only one crossfold tear, near the bottom, is present. The poster would display very well. Very Fine.
