Review of North by Northwest (1959) by Jonathan B — 07 Dec 2010

This one gets you within the first few minutes and reveals itself like an onion. You just keep wanting more and the deeper it gets the more you are there with it. I love the fast talking dialogue and Cary grant is a pimp here.

1. great gray suit, 2. crop duster death scene, 3. getting laid on a train....this guy kicks ass....but I'm being superficial. Despite the spies and chasing and women, this film was pretty funny. The auction scene was hilarious.

Hitchcock is a master and here he is in his element. It may not be his best film or smartest but it's a very worthwhile adventure.
