When it comes to graphic artists, the name Saul Bass is as big as they get. Bass designed the film's full US campaign, using slight variations on the placement of the figures in relation to the spiral artwork. All the various size US posters are highly sought-after.

This is the fourth and final time that James Stewart would work with Alfred Hitchcock, in one of his best loved thrillers. The mood of the film was greatly enhanced by the score, which was written by Bernard Herrmann.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright.

Material of piece: Paper, backed on paper
Material of frame: Obeche wood, card mount and UV plexiglass
