ALFRED HITCHCOCK - 1972 self-profile sketch

A friend here on AL suggested I share this one since we have Hitchcock fans amongst us here.

This little gem was created by Hitchcock whilst he was in Europe promoting his "return to form" film FRENZY in 1972. 

It literally took me years to find a Hitchcock sketch for sale that I was convinced was authentic.

Thanks, David.  It is mine.  I purchased it from an dealer in Australia who had purchased it from an estate of a fellow who travelled to London often on business in the 60's and 70's.  He met Hitchcock in the lobby of The Park Lane and asked for an autograph.  Hitch obliged with a sketch as well as his signature.  It was neatly removed from an album.  A little cello tape but not too bad and worth the trade off for me.

Here's another look at it:
