Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959), starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Jessie Royce Landis, and Leo G. Carroll. In addition to the standard 4K Blu-ray release, the studio will issue a Limited SteelBook edition. Cary Grant stars as an innocent man mistaken for a spy in one of director Alfred Hitchcock's greatest thrillers. While leaving New York's Plaza Hotel, advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Grant) has the misfortune of standing just as the name "George Kaplan" is paged--starting a lethal case of mistaken identity and a nonstop game of cat and mouse as he is pursued across North America by espionage agents trying to kill him--and by police who suspect him of murder.
