Review of North by Northwest (1959) by John A — 26 Feb 2015
Classic Cold War Spy Thriller About Mistaken Identity From The Master Of Suspense Alfred Hitchcock. This Fourth & Final Collaboration Between Grant & Hitchcock, See's Cary Grant On The Run From An Organisation Of Spies Led By James Mason.
Grant's Character Is Mistaken For An FBI Official Who Doesn't Exist, & Now He Is On A Mission For Survival, While Also Having To Elude The Police As He Also Been Framed For The Murder Of A UN Official.
This Is Hitchcock On Top Form And Of Course One That Features His Most Known Collaborators, Bernard Herrman Providing The Score, Saul Bass With The Excellent Opening Title Design & Edith Head In Charge Of The Wardrobe Department.
An Excellently Made Slow Burn Thriller Which Features The Iconic Scenes Crop Duster Plane Chase & The Finale At Mount Rushmore.
