North by Northwest

1959, US, 136 mins, colour. Dir: Alfred Hitchcock.
Stars: Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason.

This is perhaps Alfred Hitchcock's most famous suspense thriller on a chase theme. The attack on Cary Grant by a crop-duster plane in the middle of a desolate prairie has now passed into film folklore. But the film has many other fine moments, notably the tense scenes on board a train (one of Hitchcock's favorite locations), the assassination at the United Nations building, and the climax at Mount Rushmore.
