Great image of Hitchcock with hand over his throat.
Is Hitchcock the only director who appeared regularly on his
advertising materials? I can't think of any others.

In 1958, MGM acquired the distribution rights for this Alfred
Hitchcock classic from Warner Bros. (I am not certain if it
included distribution rights within the U.S., or only outside the
U.S.). They printed a really cool all new posters and a title card
that have a giant image of Alfred Hitchcock looming above Jimmy
Stewart (and they also used the image for the Argentinean release).
The posters were "Litho in U.S.A.", but are undated, and some
dealers have mistakenly sold these posters as original release
international posters, but they are definitely from the 1958 MGM re-
release. In the 1960s, Universal acquired the rights to this movie,
and they re-released it in 1964 and 1965.
