Original Novak, Kim Movie Posters

In Vertigo, Novak plays the dual role of Madeleine and Judy in a performance that carries the full weight of Hitchcock's meditation on obsession and male desire. The film, initially underestimated on release, is now considered among the greatest films ever made, and Novak's contribution to its layered power is essential. She also appeared in Richard Quine's Bell Book and Candle (1958) and Billy Wilder's Kiss Me, Stupid (1964), bringing her particular quality to each. Original one-sheets and lobby cards featuring Kim Novak are consistently sought by collectors of Hollywood golden age materials, and fine-condition examples from Vertigo and Picnic are among the most difficult to source in the market. Her Columbia Pictures portrait materials reflect the full sophistication of late Hollywood studio photography and graphic design, and first-release prints are now genuinely scarce.
