Description

North by Northwest (MGM, 1959). Fine/Very Fine on Paper. 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. Professional restoration has addressed some fold wear and separation, pinholes, small chips, and tears in the borders. Other corrections include some paper lifts, and the borders have been partially airbrushed.
