From one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema comes the all-new "Alfred Hitchcock: The Iconic Film Collection," releasing on 4K Ultra HD disc and Digital on November 26, 2024 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. This must-own collection consists of some of the most unforgettable and groundbreaking films of all time including "Rear Window," "To Catch a Thief," "Vertigo," "North By Northwest," "Psycho," and "The Birds."

In partnership with Warner Bros. and Paramount Home Entertainment, the collection features the newly-released 4K Ultra HD remasters of "North by Northwest" and "To Catch a Thief." It's the very first time you can own all six films together on 4K Ultra HD disc, and includes digital codes of each film.

The premium book style-packaging consists of rare photos, bios, trivia, and original cover art by renowned artist Tristan Eaton. It features over 15 hours of revealing bonus features, including "Psycho Uncut" (the extended version of the movie originally seen in theaters), audio interviews with Alfred Hitchcock, behind-the-scenes featurettes, rare production photographs, creative storyboards, insightful feature commentaries, and so much more! It is limited-edition item, and will be available to purchase at participating retailers, including Amazon and GRUV.

Starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly, "Rear Window" is Alfred Hitchcock's voyeuristic masterpiece about a photographer who develops an obsession after thinking he witnessed a neighbor's murder. "To Catch a Thief," courtesy of Paramount Pictures, stars Cary Grant along with Grace Kelly, and centers on a reformed jewel thief in the French Riviera. Considered one of Hitchcock's greatest cinematic achievements, "Vertigo" stars James Stewart and Kim Novak in a dizzying web of mistaken identity, passion, and murder. "North by Northwest," courtesy of Warner Bros., stars Cary Grant alongside Eva Marie Saint as a man on the run who is abducted and framed for murder, and it's considered one of Hitchcock's most visually stunning films. Perhaps regarded as Hitchcock's most well-known film, "Psycho" stars Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins as a mild-mannered motel manager who turns out to be not what he seems. Finally, Hitchcock's one true "monster" movie, "The Birds," stars Tippi Hedren as she fights to survive an unexplainable attack by birds in a quiet seaside town.
