Warner Home Video has announced plans to bring Alfred Hitchcock’s classic North by Northwest starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint to Blu-ray Disc and DVD on November 3 to celebrate the film’s 50th anniversary.
To ensure the film’s first foray into high definition is a positive one, Warner has scanned the original VistaVision production elements in 8K resolution. In Warner’s words, the result “reveals a depth of field and clarity never before possible, only serving to heighten every thrill-packed moment of this beloved classic.”
North by Northwest on Blu-ray will be packaged in a digibook case with a 44-page booklet and include a pair of new documentaries detailed below.
