Contract signed both by Alfred Hitchcock and an officer of MCA Inc. Next a signed contract by Peter Lorre and CBS Television for "Playhouse 90" dated February 25, 1957. Contract to co-star has been signed by Mr. Lorre and initialed on 3 addendums. Finally, a signed 8" x 10" photo of Lorre from the late 1950s or early 1960s boldly inscribed and signed in blue fountain pen. All three pieces in excellent condition and quite scarce.
