This is a vintage Japanese movie program or flyer for "North by Northwest" (1959), the classic Alfred Hitchcock thriller starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint.
The Japanese title on the poster, "北北西に進路を取れ" (Hokuhokusei ni Shinro o Tore), is the direct translation of North by Northwest.
The text at the bottom indicates that this was issued for screenings at the Hibiya Movie Theater (日比谷映画劇場), a well-known cinema in Tokyo.
North by Northwest follows advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) as he gets caught in a web of espionage after being mistaken for a government agent. The film is famous for its suspenseful plot, stylish cinematography, and iconic scenes, including the crop-duster chase and the Mount Rushmore climax.
This Japanese theater-issue program is a rare and collectible piece of memorabilia, especially with its striking pink background and vibrant illustration of the film's stars.
