Description

North by Northwest (MGM, 1959). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
Master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock set the bar for terror, suspense and thrills, enthralling audiences worldwide during a career that spanned fifty years. Posters from his films top the list of collector favorites, including this Style B half sheet. North by Northwest is non-stop action, and with stars like Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, and James Mason, it's one to see again and again. The chemistry between Grant and Saint was a big selling point of the film, and while the artist of this half sheet may have exaggerated this sexy stateroom scene (Saint never actually pulled a gun on him on the train), it makes for a great poster. Paperbacking has the poster displaying nicely, with touch-up to a chip in the upper left border, a chip and surface paper loss in the top right, torn pinholes in the bottom and top borders, and fold wear. Fine+ on Paper.
