North by Northwest 1959 Belgian Film Poster

This original 1959 Belgian poster for Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest — released in French-speaking regions as La Mort Aux Trousses — features distinctive painted artwork that sets it apart from the widely recognised Saul Bass designs used in the U.S. release.

Showcasing hand-rendered portraits of stars Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint, the poster captures key elements of the film’s suspense and iconic imagery. The dramatic crop-duster chase and the climactic Mount Rushmore sequence are both depicted, emphasising the film’s mix of intrigue, action, and cinematic spectacle.
This Belgian edition reflects regional design trends of the era, favouring illustrative compositions over graphic minimalism, offering a unique visual interpretation of one of Hitchcock’s most celebrated thrillers.

This original vintage movie poster has been professionally linen-backed and is sized 21 1/4 x 12 inches (plus a couple more inches for the linen). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
