These images have a lot of similarities.
Do you know other influences of this kind ?

1) In the website stated above, it is claimed that some inspiration of the movie came from the “galindez affair” maybe you want to check it up.
2) Also, when Cary Grant tells Eva Marie Saint so “you got the pumpkin” after she snatches the statue from James Mason is based on the Alger Hiss story (see for starters http://homepages.nyu.edu/~th15/) which appears a very controverisal subject at that time where Hiss was acused to spying for the Soviets by hiding micro-film in a pumpkin.
In “That Man from Rio”, Jean-Paul Belmondo did the same in his Rio de Janeiro hotel http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058203/ . But the way that movie was originally written was as a Tintin movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058203/trivia
Yes Spielberg said to have been influenced by the Man from Rio and see it endlessly to prepare raiders of the lost Ark !
As North by northwest, same “ingredients”:
- Action action and action (breathless)
- Lot of location (or how to travel from our sofa)
From a historical perspective it must have been quite gripping to watch the show as the Cold War was in full swing…the story could be believable.
See the IMDb’s main image and the figure next to the “O” in “Rio” on the far right in the poster below

It is interesting that the housekeeper and her husband would flee to Cananda towards the end of the show. This was because Canada was not neutral in the 1950s, thiso was because Igor Guzenko, a Rusisan admitted there was a spy ring in Canada.
