Big, bold vintage self-caricature and uninscribed autograph on a 7x9-inch off-white leaf, given in black felt-tip pen in the 1960s. In good condition, with some gentle toning, and superb for matting, framing and display. Deliciously macabre five-time Oscar nominated director Alfred Hitchcock, who was posthumously recognized by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films in 1994, is remembered by fans of the genre for Psycho (1960), The Birds (1963) and his T.V. series, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” (1955-1961). His countless classic films in other genres, many of which involved aspects of horror, included Sabotage (1936), The Lady Vanishes (1938), Rebecca (1940), Foreign Correspondent (1940), Suspicion (1941), Saboteur (1942), Shadow of a Doubt (1943), Lifeboat (1944), Spellbound (1945), Notorious (1946), Rope (1948), Strangers on a Train (1951), I Confess (1953), Dial M for Murder (1954), Rear Window (1954), To Catch a Thief (1955), The Trouble with Harry (1955), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), The Wrong Man (1956), Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959), Marnie (1964), and Torn Curtain (1966).
