It’s jaw dropping to consider the combined talents of the people responsible for North by Northwest. For a team like Hitchcock, Coleman, Burks, Tomasini, Herrmann, Boyle, Grant, Robertson, Lehman, Mason, Saint and so many other artists, craftspeople and technicians at the very top of their game to come together is rarer than hen’s teeth.

Years ago, I saw that NbyNW was showing in Palo Alto. I asked my wife if she had ever seen it. She replied that she had once seen it on TV. I said, “Oh, no, you’ve never seen North by Northwest.” We went to see it in its original glorious widescreen format. Hitchcock used every square inch of the frame to maximum effect. She was quite amazed.

It looks great in 1080 but in 4K HDR the VistaVision negative really shines. I watched my copy the other day and was constantly amazed by the quality or picture and sound. Also something that doesn’t get mentioned is that the dialogue doesn’t get lost in the mix.

With *White Christmas 4K* and now *North by Northwest 4K* this year alone, we now have two VistaVision films back in their original aspect ratio! The HD copies are in an improperly open-matted 1.78

VistaVision was designed to be shown in any ratio between 1.5 and 2.0, so 1.78 is fine

There were so many wonderful films in 1959 this is one of them! If it wasn't for Ben Hur being an epic and somewhat better, North by Northwest would have won many awards including Best Picture of the Year !!!!!
@simonstuddert-kennedy885425 күн бұрын
Ben Hur better ? Surely you jest. NBNW is head and shoulders above Ben Hur as a work of art. And by the way, who cares about Ben Hur now, or considers it one of the best movies ever made ?

How are we supposed to see how stunning the 4K is when the clip is only 1080p? And the sound mix is awful. The music shouldn't drown out the dialog - it should support it. "North By Northwest" was the first disc I ever bought for the first disc player I ever bought, but I'm not buying this. Thumbs down.

Is it me, or does it look like the opening credits are position wrong- the slant if you go by the upper right corner is saying north east, by North east. However, if you’re going from the lower left corner of the screen, then the slant makes it look like they’re saying Southwest by Southwest … Anybody else catch it??!
Why Cary Grant's character did not jump right away on the phone in the Manor room to call the police (or dial 0) to tell he had been kidnapped, he already knew the adress?

The movie is a masterpiece from the master Hitchcock but the 4K release lefts a lot to be desired. I enjoyed recently the remastered 4K edition of The Terminator very much but unfortunately in this case the 1080p version looks quite better than the 4K disc. Sounds better too.

One of them is Donna Douglas, a year prior to her role in the classic episode of The Twilight Zone “Eye of the Beholder” and three years prior to fame in The Beverly Hillbillies as knockout Elly Mae Clampett. She actually crosses in front of Cary Grant and Doreen Lang, which would be impossible for an extra without being told to do so. I’ve always wondered if this was a favor from Hitchcock. I don’t know, but it’s definitely her at 2:56.
