Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train - Vintage Movie Poster, 1953

Original Finnish tour poster for Strangers on a Train, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. First screened in Finland on 7 March 1952; this poster carries a printed date of 1953, indicating it was issued for subsequent regional touring screenings. Measures approximately 27 x 13.25 inches.

The format is worth noting. Standard Finnish tour posters of this period run to approximately 24 x 13 inches; this example is notably taller, bringing it closer in proportion to the Italian locandina format. At the foot of the poster is a blank margin, where one would normally expect printed headings for handwritten completion of screening times, dates, venue, and ticket prices, suggesting this copy escaped distribution entirely and was never put to use in the field.

Three folding creases, unusual for a tour poster, but otherwise in Fine, unused condition. Minor handling crease to the upper right corner; no pinholes, no adhesive residue. The blank margin and overall freshness strongly suggest this is an undistributed example.

A fascinating and extremely rare piece of Hitchcock memorabilia.
