This design on this Japanese poster focussed on one of the film's iconic scenes to promote the re-release of the film in 1966.

This is one of the rarest Japanese posters on this title, as it was printed in two sheets, and fewer of this size were printed.

This wonderful thriller was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and stars Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason. The score for this film was by Bernard Herrmann, who also collaborated with Hitchcock on Psycho, The Man Who Knew Too Much and Vertigo. The film's opening title sequence was created by the legendary graphic designer Saul Bass.
