Original Warner Bros. Insert Poster (14×36) for the Alfred Hitchcock thriller, DIAL M FOR MURDER (1954) starring Ray Milland, Grace Kelly, and Robert Cummings. Adapted from a popular Broadway play by Frederick Knott, the film tells the story of an elaborate murder-for-hire scheme involving a washed-up tennis pro (Milland) and his well-to-do wife (Kelly). Classic Hitch tension arises because Kelly is having an affair with a crime scriptwriter (Cummings). Besides superb dialogue, the film boasts excellent direction by Hitchcock, stunning color photography by Robert Burks, and a typically brilliant score by Dimitri Tiomkin.
The film was released in 3-D but also played “flat” or without the three dimensional effect. This poster was originally folded; it has now been paper-backed and presents beautifully. We grade the poster as fine plus because of its original folds. No missing paper or obtrusive in-painting.
Looks very very nice with vivid color. Since the poster is paper-backed it will be shipped flat and should remain that way until framing. A very nice example of what is one of the best Hitch insert posters.

This is an original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Nunnally Johnson comedy, HOW TO BE VERY, VERY POPULAR (1955) starring Betty Grablel, Sheree North, and Robert Cummings. This is the film that Marilyn Monroe refused to do for Fox. Instead, she moved to New York to study with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio. Unfortunately, Sheree North was quickly put in her place and encouraged to look and act like a Monroe clone, which undercut the effect of this otherwise cute and clever comedy. The film was a commercial failure, and Betty Grable took this lack of success as a cue to end her twenty-five year Hollywood career. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition, with only minor fold separations.
