<<North by Northwest is a 1959 American suspense film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason, and featuring Leo G. Carroll and Martin Landau. The screenplay was written by Ernest Lehman, who wanted to write "the Hitchcock picture to end all Hitchcock pictures". Hitchcock often told journalists of an idea he had about Cary Grant hiding out from the villains inside Abraham Lincoln's nose and being given away when he sneezes. He speculated that the film could be called "The Man in Lincoln's Nose" (Lehman's [own] version is that it was "The Man on Lincoln's Nose") or even "The Man who Sneezed in Lincoln's Nose", though he probably felt the latter was insulting to his adopted America.
At Hitchcock's insistence, the film was made in Paramount's VistaVision widescreen process, making it one of the few VistaVision films made at MGM.>>

They don't point as close to Polaris in this flat picture as they do in the round sky.
The distortion is probably due to a very wide-angle lens.
