Product Description

 
NORTH 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.").

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 targe...

The Man on Lincoln's Nose

Date of Review:  Jul 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: As screenwriter Ernest Lehman says, "This is the Hitchcock picture to end all Hitchcock pictures."
Review: A man stands alone at a deserted crossroads in the middle of a prairie. A crop-dusting plane drones in the background, spraying the air on the horizon. The sun beats down mercilessly. The man, dressed in a charcoal-gray suit, is nervously awaiting a...

Pros
Hitchcock got everything perfect on...
Cons
It gives crop-dusters a bad name.
 

"And I don't want to disappoint them all by getting myself slightly killed!"

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you rent North By Northwest, you might get a 40-minute "special" thingy before the film itself. But it's quite interesting.
Review: It was the Hitchcock movie to end all Hitchcock movies, or so I heard. But Hitchcock would actually go on to make nine more movies between this and the last film of his career in 1976 (incidentally, when I was born). Still, coming from a guy who has...

NORTH BY NORTHWEST: An exciting Hitchcock thriller!

Date of Review:  Oct 15, 2002
The Bottom Line: Great Hitchcock film.
Review: The 1950s was a mixture of successes and failures for Alfred Hitchcock. Most of his successes are classic thriller films such as Rear Window, Vertigo and Strangers on a Train. Hitchcock did have some failures such as I Confess and To Catch a Thief,...
