This compelling vintage photo shows Hitchcock performing the most famous gesture movie directors are known for, the two-handed frame. Rhonda Fleming makes her film debut here, playing a nymphomaniac being treated at a mental hospital. A story often told is that Rhonda, having won the role, had to actually look up the definition of a "nymphomaniac" in her mother's dictionary. The photo is in Very Good to Fine condition with some light handling wear . Reverse with original studio promotional snipe and previous owner's sticker. Seller Inventory # 003416
