It will also include:

A woman's razor
One frame of THE micro-film
A matchbox reproduction of the Mercedes
A reproduction of the secretary note that says "think thin".
A reproduction matchbook that includes Thornhill's warning message
A reproduction booklet of all the items at the auction
A can of alphabet soup that only includes the letters F, B, I and C, A.

The Blu-ray of North by Northwest will be released on November 3rd.

It says it is from an 8K scan of VistaVision elements.

...the film has received a meticulous restoration and remastering especially for this occasion with Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging scanning the original VistaVision production elements in 8K resolution. The resulting presentation reveals a depth of field and clarity never before possible, only serving to heighten every thrill-packed moment of this beloved classic.

Really looking forward to this, it should look great, and hopefully a lot more film-like than the DVD.

Warner Home Video have announced the US DVD and Blu-ray Disc release of North by Northwest (50th Anniversary Edition) on 3rd November 2009.

North by Northwest is priced at $34.99 SRP on Blu-ray (with book packaging)

No $85 BOX-O-JUNK?

Great also to see that WHV will be including a music only track.

Since there's no high priced box set, I'm definitely picking this up!

It will be mine. Finally some Hitchcock in HD.

Great to hear Simon, I was not even thinking about it too much when I visited my usual source for something else and saw it on the display shelf, naturally I could not resist! It will be a nice addition for a viewing tonight. Hope it looks spectacular.
