Additional InformationNORTH BY NORTHWEST is a suspense thriller that finds Cary Grant in the role of Roger Thornhill, a Manhattan advertising executive mistaken for a spy. Considered by many to be the prototypical pure action movie (creating the template for later James Bond and Indiana Jones films), the film is a cross-country roller-coaster ride with Alfred Hitchcock at the helm. The film is duly famous for several classic and indelible scenes, including the desert biplane encounter and the Mt. Rushmore climax. The original title was THE MAN IN LINCOLN'S NOSE, which was replaced by a reference to a line from William Shakespeare's HAMLET (in which Hamlet says, "I am but mad north-north-west."). The magical combination of Hitchcock and the debonair Grant--who made four wonderful films together--makes NORTH BY NORTHWEST a suspense-filled standout.<BR>When Thornhill finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, the world as he knows it comes to an end. Suddenly danger threatens as the hapless businessman is targeted as an American intelligence agent and set up as a killer. All of Thornhill's attempts to straighten things out only make matters worse--and soon the desperate man is on the run from murderous foreign operatives, the CIA, and the police. The supporting cast, including Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, and Martin Landau, is uniformly excellent.
ReviewsTotal Film - ...NORTH BY NORTHWEST is sequence after sequence of breathlessly exciting and amusing entertainment..., Entertainment Weekly - ...The master's greatest toy..., Premiere - ...NORTH BY NORTHWEST is the paragon for every action caper that's followed..., USA Today - ...One of Alfred Hitchcock's most durable entertainments...

  • 50s Style & Suspense

    This is, in my opinion, one of the best Hitchcock Movies. It oozes '50s glamour, with a Marilyn Monroe lookalike as the leading lady, who has more depth than a stereotypical sex-symbol, and Cary Grant, who is less wooden than usual (apart from when he's in a clinch, when he looks surprised at his own hands, but for all the wrong reasons! ;) A thriller, rather than a horror movie, this makes for intriguing, rather than stressful viewing. Along with Vertigo and Rear Window, this movie ticks all the boxes.

  • It's a classic Hitchcock movie with Carr...

    It's a classic Hitchcock movie with Carry Grant and I've seen it dozens of times. I stopped paying the TV-TAX 6 years ago, so I'm purchasing DVDs like these.

  • Play and DVD

    I saw the stage play of this. Then wanted to see the DVD. The stage play was very true to the original, along with the exact words on both stage and screen. Well worth seeing the stage play.
