Starring Cary Grant as the suave, mistakenly accused advertising executive Roger Thornhill and Eva Marie Saint as the captivating Eve Kendall, this cinematic milestone set the blueprint for the modern action-espionage genre.

This beautifully preserved piece features striking mid-century graphics that brilliantly summarize the film’s high-stakes narrative: the dramatic silhouette of Cary Grant fleeing the iconic crop-duster airplane, the looming faces of Mount Rushmore, and an intimate, tense illustration of the lead actors.

Printed specifically for bilingual Belgian audiences, the poster features both the French title (La Mort aux Trousses) and the Dutch title (De Dood op de Hielen). First-release 1959 posters for North by Northwest are incredibly scarce compared to later reissues, making this a pinnacle acquisition for serious Hitchcock enthusiasts and vintage graphic art collectors alike.
