"One of Hitchcock's most entertaining American thrillers." -Pauline Kael, 5001 NIGHTS AT THE MOVIES
Cary Grant teams with director Alfred Hitchcock for the fourth and final time in this superlative espionage caper judged one of the American Film Institute's Top-100 Films and spruced up with a new digital transfer and remixed Dolby Digital Stereo. He plays a Manhattan advertising executive plunged into a realm of spy (James Mason) and counterspy (Eva Marie Saint) and variously abducted, framed for murder, chased and in another signature set piece, crop-dusted. He also holds on for dear life from the facial features of the Presidents on Mount Rushmore (backlot sets were used). But don't expect the Master of Suspense to leave star or audience hanging.

Hitch-hiking into Adventure - 4.75 out of 5 (8/27/2000)
It is just another normal day for advertising man Roger Thornhill. He discusses some business with his secretary, he meets some associates for lunch, but he is then abducted by two men who claim that he is a man named George Kaplan. It's an intriguing case of mistaken identity that will lead Thornhill (played by Cary Grant) from the streets of New York to the cliffs of Mount Rushmore in what is arguably Alfred Hitchcock's best movie.
If you've never seen NORTH BY NORTHWEST, you are denying

My absolute favorite Alfred Hitchcock picture. - 4.5 out of 5 (7/21/2003)
Alfred Hitchcock has made a lot of great films, but "North By Northwest" is his best film he has ever created. Cary Grant plays Roger Thornhill, a successful advertising executive from Manhattan, who is mistaken for George Kaplan, a CIA agent/spy, by the bad guys working for Phillip Vandamm, the character played by James Mason. He meets Eve Kendall, a sexy, beautiful industrial designer, played by Eva Marie Saint, while travelling across the States. "North By Northwest" is a movie that you shoul

Every bit the Hitchcock masterpiece - 3.75 out of 5 (7/11/2002)
Never a dull moment. The combination of Grant and Eve Marie Saint is fantastic. One of Hitchcock's most exciting and thrilling works. This is a classic that will never lose its appeal to audiences.
