Best Of

I began collecting movie poster art in the 1970s after seeing the one sheet for Dial M for Murder in the window (not the Rear Window) of Bob Coleman's Hollywood Poster Exchange. Luckily I decided to specialize in someone with a long career who attracted so many famous actors and actresses to appear in his movies: Alfred Hitchcock. By the time I liquidated 95+% of my collection at a series of auctions I had over 180 posters and over 600 lobby cards, all Hitch.  What made me a bit different is that I really enjoyed the art of non-USA Hitch promotional art.  Almost no one was collecting Belgian, Argentinian, etc. posters in those days (although the French were fierce collectors of French Hitch posters.) While I liked Hitch, what attracted me was the promotional art more than Hitch as director. I kept about ten Hitch posters, mostly because I forgot I had some frames under the bed in the guest room. I am slowly dipping my toe in the water, but on a budget. Anything I may post on this site is either currently owned by me or was owned previously owned by me.
