North by Northwest title sequence

by ccManager
Commentary summary:
Opening titles of Hitchcock's North by Northwest
Text Commentary:

Saul Bass's opening title design for North by Northwest merges typography with live action footage of an urban office building. The title sequence then segues to the film's "Hitchcock moment" in which the director fails to catch a bus.
