hi johni bought one of these NbyNW storyboards from the seller at the time (one from the coastal road driving sequence). i remember that the seller was also selling storyboards from other Hitchcock and non-Hitchcock films (all graphite on vellum) so is it possible your board is from another film? my memory may be faulty but i seem to remember that there was a board or two billed as being from the contemporaneous The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956). i would think that these are preliminary storyboards rather than conceptual art as many had arrows indicating camera moves. that said, they are not as hyper-detailed as the final, published storyboards for NbyNW.
i have often wondered who else acquired these storyboards at the time and also a prop newspaper from North By Northwest that sold on ebay (i think also around 9 years ago). if anyone has any of these i'd be interested to know.....cheersneil --- On Fri, 24/12/10, JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia <[email protected]> wrote: From: JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MOPO] North by Northwest question To: [email protected] Date: Friday, 24 December, 2010, 0:16 I was hoping that there might be some record of what was planned for the film. This scene obviously wasnt used in the film. The auction stated that it had been part of the original concept idea but if there is no actual record of this there is probably no way of knowing whether it was from the film or not.

What characters would they be?

I missed out on all but one which was supposedly from a scene that ended up on the cutting room floor. http://www.johnreid.helpinghost.com/NORTHBYNORTHWESTSTORYBOARD.jpg There is nothing to confirm that it actually was from the film although the rest of the items all looked authentic and there were certainly some recognizable scenes from the movie. Does anyone have any ideas on whether it might be from North by Northwest.
