Review of North by Northwest (1959) by Frank V — 08 Mar 2014
Working from one of the all-time great scripts by Ernest Lehman, and featuring several of cinema's greatest action sequences-the crop duster attack, the chase across the face(s) of Mount Rushmore-Hitchcock ended his golden period on the highest of notes with North by Northwest.
Even the title sequences, designed by Saul Bass, are memorable, and Bernard Herrmann's score is equal to his iconic themes from Psycho and Vertigo.
