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...

"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,...

North by Northwest - Cary Grant Shines in one of Hitchcock's Best Thrillers

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: North by Northwest has stood the test of time as one of Hitchcock's best movies. Fans of his movies or Cary Grant should enjoy this one.
Review: Alfred Hitchcock created some of the most suspenseful movies ever made during his career as a director. I've seen and enjoyed many of his movies. Over the last few years I have added several of his movies to my DVD collection. North by Northwest is...

I Like Your Flavor: North by Northwest

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: The most entertaining Alfred Hitchcock movie, North by Northwest is #24 on the Internet Movie Database list of top films.
Review: North by Northwest (1959)

"War is hell, Mr Thornhill, even if it's a cold one."

North by Northwest seems to be the movie where all Hitchcock's powers as a filmmaker came together. It takes a case of mistaken identity and plays...

Almost perfect Hitchcock

Date of Review:  Oct 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is quintessential Hitcock, that does almost everything right.
Review: Who is George Kaplan? Well, he is not Roger Thornhill, an advertising executive from New York City, played perfectly by Cary Grant, but the bad guys (James Mason and Martin Landau) become, due to a weird incident involving misunderstandings,...

See Grant Run.

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: Perfect hurricane riding out entertainment.
Review: And so it came to pass that on Saturday, the 4th of September 2004, I was in the midst of getting a severe case of cabin fever from being cooped up and waiting for hurricane (Sgt Hulka Voice on) Frances (Hulka voice off). After seeing all the...

One of Hitchcock's Finest Movies

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2009
The Bottom Line: Highly Recommended: North by Northwest is certainly one of Hitchcock's best. Cary Grant cuts a fine action hero while there are some classic suspenseful scenes.
Review: The 1950 s were certainly a golden era for Alfred Hitchcock. Over the course of that decade he shot what many consider to be his greatest movies: Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho (1960) and North by Northwest. Not enough? Well he also had Strangers on a...

Watch Out For Low-Flying Planes

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: ?
Review: I have this list (or at least a general sense) of movies that I should see at some point in my life. I had wanted to see this movie for several reasons. First, there s that famous crop-duster scene. Second, I figure that I should see at least one...

"Roger, Pay the Two Dollars"

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2000
The Bottom Line: This is entertaining in all ways that count. If you you've missed seeing it so far, what are you waiting for?
Review: They don't make movies like this anymore. Imagination and suspense, humor and intrigue, creating mystery in every day life; these are the unique gifts that an Alfred Hitchcock thriller brought to audiences. In addition, we lived in paranoid times...
