Product description

American classic comedy drama directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) finds himself in a case of mistaken identity, as members of a strange organisation believe he is a man by the name of George Kaplan due to a miscommunication. With no other option, he flees across the country, being pursued by enemies of the government who are convinced that he is a secret agent. He finds a friend in Eve Kendall (Eve Marie Saint) who helps to conceal him during a perilous train journey, but he soon discovers that she is not all she seems.

A tangible step-up from the blu-ray.
5 out of 5 stars
A tangible step-up from the blu-ray.
As this has been my second favourite Hitchcock for years, and I’ve always found the recentish blu-ray release somewhat of a disappointment, this 4K release is the real deal.The sound is fantastic, and the colours ( particularly the reds and greens ) are noticeably vigorous and an improvement on the blu-Ray release.So satisfying to finally have this in my collection.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 4K Transfer
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2024
    Verified Purchase
    North by Northwest is classic Hitchcock, it is brought to life with this incredible 4K transfer. HDR makes the colours pop. It was shot on 35mm so there is some grain but for the majority of the movie it is very light. This new transfer comes with a new Dolby Atmos mix that was remixed from previously created 5.1 surround tracks. For the purists, there is a DTS HD 2.0 dual mono track included which was on the original theatrical release. There is a raft of solid supplements, including a new featurette. 10/10 for picture quality, 9/10 for audio, and 8/10 for the extras.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime 4k bluray
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 December 2024

    North by Northwest is a legendary Hitchcock movie. Finally it's come to 4k bluray and received the treatment it deserves.
    The 4k bluray looks superb. The hdr is accurate and beautiful. Colours never look fake or forced.
    The bluray already looked very good. The 4k bluray takes it a step further.
    Even if you've got the bluray then the 4k is still essential.
    An already perfect film just got even better.

    The film goes without saying a classic, okay I cannot comment on the 4K as I don't have a player, but the Blu-ray transfer is excellent.

    The physical contents are well worth the asking price of £44.95 and very good quality, an excellent slip case to boot as well.

    And what I really love and well done Warner Brothers Home Entertainment, the Collector's Edition arrived in a double wall box to protect it, in addition to the Amazon packaging! And that should virtually eliminate any damage in transport, well thought out!

    First class product that is only going to worth a great in years to come.

    4.0 out of 5 stars North By Northwest 4k Review - Movie Collector's Perspective
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Always a favourite this one, from Bernard Herrmann's propulsive score to Cary Grant's effortless charisma as the man in the wrong place at the wrong time. I had this on VHS, then DVD, then Blu Ray and now....4K!

    Is it worth the £19.99 paid? It sure is! The one grumble is that this was shot at the time with VistaVision (the IMAX of the 50's) and so, as with Paramount's recent 'White Christmas' and 'To Catch A Thief' 4K Vistavision releases, it would have been nice for Warner's to apply Dolby Vision to this - they haven't - and so its a missed opportunity.

    That said, this is the best quality that you will ever see this film in and I loved the exit from the UN building vertigo inducing shot and of course the crop duster setpiece. Detail is as sharp as Grant's long suffering suit and exterior shots look like they were filmed yesterday.

    It's 4 out 5 because of the Dolby Vision absence but don't let that put you off, it's still an essential purchase.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 4K Bluray
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2024
    Verified Purchase
    A substantial upgrade over the Standard Bluray edition from a few years ago, and that version was itself a very fine version. Quality visuals and a particularly great 5.1 / Atmos soundtrack plus the option for original mono if required. I had feared that the extra definition of 4k would highlight the limitations of the back projection, matte paintings and studio based segments of the film, particularly the Mount Rushmore finale. But happy to confirm these elements are handled superbly and can be watched with a knowing eye and an appreciation of the movie technology utilised in 1959 to such awesome effect. Highly recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding late-period Hitchcock offering Cary Grant his best ever role.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2021
    Verified Purchase
    First, let me confess a little anti-North By Northwest prejudice as I settled down to watch this 1959 classic. My memory was that it had great comic moments, and some real suspense (the latter presented as much for laughs as for gasps)... but that it was a bit too much of a big-studio production to be a “real” Hitchcock on the lines of Strangers on a Train (1951) or the ultra-low budget Psycho (1960), which immediately followed it.

    Indeed there is strong evidence that the very experience of working on NNW’s then-stellar budget of $3.5 million (about $100 million in today's terms), prompted Hitchcock to make Psycho, with minimal crew, on his own dime. This, he thought, would be a way of getting back to the old days, in the tiny English film studios where his career began in the 1920s. He would work directly with a dedicated crew, and have control over production values, art direction, and so on. Furthermore, the quirky shots and gritty noir feel of the best 1940s and 50s work would once again come into their own.

    My memory — false, as it turned out — was that NNW was too glamorous, colourful and expensive to allow for any of these noir moments, or any of those hints of the perverse and twisted that is visible in so many Hitch works, even from the very beginning (The Lodger, 1927; Blackmail, 1929); becoming a trademark of mid to late career: Shadow of a Doubt (1943) and The Wrong Man (1957).

    Well, there are certain no shabby rooming houses, dodgy motels or dirty back streets. But that, in part, is the point: in the classic crop-dusting sequence, Hitchcock invented an entirely new cinematic idea: sundrenched noir.

    That notion — that menace and evil did not need the concealment of dark alleyways — is both literally and metaphorically true in NNW. Every act of wickedness, every hint of evil, takes place amongst people, and in settings, that could decorously feature in the society pages of a respectable newspaper.

    Villains like Phillip Vandamm (James Mason) and his sidekick Leonard (Martin “Marty” Landau) are soft-spoken, well-dressed and impeccably polite as they gracefully go about the business of murder and mayhem; they do so in settings ranging from elegant country piles to Frank Lloyd Wright masterpieces. This is homicide in the best possible taste.

    The film looks good, and what I mis-remembered as lavishness turns out to be Robert Boyle’s elegance, always with a hint of the decadent; and Robert Burks’ stunning cinematography. (VistaVision, a relatively new format, was perfect for the many outdoor locations).

    Bernard Herrmann provides the score: his percussive opening is much celebrated, but undeservedly neglected are his contrasting love themes, best heard in the forest scene near the end.

    Saul Bass, as witty as ever in his opening titles, adds icing to this wonderful film: in Hitchcock’s own words, not a slice of life but a slice of cake.

    Buy it, watch it. You’re in for a treat.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excepcional en todos los aspectos.
    Reviewed in Spain on 23 March 2013

    Esta edición británica del 50 aniversario de Con la muerte en los talones corresponde a la que se puede comprar en España, sólo que a un precio mucho más bajo. Dejando de lado comentarios sobre la maestría de Hitchcock o el significado de la película en su filmografía o en la de Cary Grant, se puede afirmar que la calidad de imagen y sonido de la versión en Blu Ray es magnífica. Desde los títulos de crédito ya destacan los colores bien definidos y una música potente, aunque haya que subirla un poco de volúmen en la VO. Sin duda estamos otra vez delante de una restauración muy agradable de un clásico. Para los puristas amantes del "grano" original, el BluRay tiene escenas donde pueden observarse, sin suponer ello una escasez o un exceso de celo en la restauración.
    Respecto a los extras, el disco incluye 2 reportajes con opiniones de Guillermo del Toro, Martin Scorsese y William Friedkin relacionados con el análisis de la técnica cinematográfica de Hitchcock en Con la muerte en los talones, y con la influencia del director británico en sus cinematografías respectivas. Además, Eva Marie Saint recuerda la realización de la película y su relación con Cary Grant y Hitchcock. Por último tenemos una hora y media de la vida de Cary Grant, con entrevistas a sus esposas, compañeros de reparto e imágenes de sus películas. Trailers, fotos y el audiocomentario del guionista completan la lista de extras.
    Para resumir, esta edición en Blu-Ray bien merece un lugar en nuestra estantería por sus cualidades técnicas, la cantidad de extras y la posibilidad de volver a ver un clásico como nunca antes pudimos disfrutar.
