North by Northwest is a towering suspense film made at the peak of Hitchcock’s incredible career — just after Vertigo and just prior to Psycho. Universally acclaimed by audiences and critics alike, North by Northwest was a novel take on the spy genre that still amazes audiences today. Guillermo Del Toro described it as a “perpetual-motion thriller machine” for the way it continued to ratchet up the suspense to nearly unbelievable proportions. A stunning film any way you slice it!

This rare US 30×40 poster shares the same awesome Saul Bass art as the 1-sheet, but presents it in full color with a bold yellow background — making it perhaps the most desirable country-of-origin poster for the film. This 30×40″ cardstock format is also extremely rare, being used primarily at drive-in theaters — far fewer were originally printed and very few survive today. And it is especially uncommon to find one in such nice condition!
