In 1966, MGM re-released this classic 1959 Alfred Hitchcock movie, and created new posters that most collectors feel are superior to that of the original! It has the classic scene of Cary Grant being chased by the crop duster biplane, plus it shows Mt. Rushmore (and Hitchcock is one of the faces!), plus there is an image of Hitchcock holding a giant hand, plus there is a new tagline that reads, “Only Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock ever gave you so much suspense in so many directions so we brought it back!”
In one of director Alfred Hitchcock’s greatest films, Cary Grant portrays the “everyday man” who unwittingly gets involved with a group of spies trying to kill him. The original posters for the film were fairly bland which was corrected with this clever reissue campaign. On the reissue posters, the crop-duster sequence is shown and Hitchcock, who was notorious for appearing in all of his films, also appears twice on this poster. He has become as big a star as Grant and appears on Mount Rushmore alongside the four Presidents. The posters for this reissue are far more desirable and valuable than the original.
