    This item's owner is actively responding to offers, usually within 3 days. Most owners in this category are still actively buying, and therefore interested only in offers where they can net (after our 10% fee) an amount sufficiently above today's market value. Owners in this category seldom counter-offer, and will usually simply reject offers placed at current auction values or lower.

    Description

    Alfred Hitchcock Signed Contract. A single-page agreement between director Alfred Hitchcock and Paramount Pictures, dated July 30, 1954, granting all rights to the Hitch's black comedy "The Trouble With Harry" (released 1955) to the studio, signed by the director in blue ink. Ironically, the rights to the movie (along with those of "The Man Who Knew Too Much," "Vertigo," "Rear Window," and "Rope") were bought back by Hitchcock and left as part of his legacy to his daughter. Removed from circulation for roughly 30 years, they were referred to by fans as the "Five Lost Hitchcocks" until they were re-released in theaters in 1984. The document is in great condition, with little discoloration, a fold crease near the bottom of the page, and the usual binder and staple holes. With COA from PSA/DNA.
