Movie Minx

Starring: Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock

Plot: A hapless New York advertising executive is mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies, and is pursued across the country while he looks for a way to survive.

But is it any good?

So THAT’s where the much-spoofed man-being-chased-by-a-plane scene comes from. There is so much energy in this spy thriller that it hasn’t dated a bit. I’d never seen North by Northwest before I viewed it for this blog and was delighted. Of course, I’m always delighted by Hitchcock movies. It’s long, but there are so many twists and turns that it’s worth every minute. See it if you haven’t already - it’s the kind of movie that pretty much anybody would love.

IMDb’s rating: 8.6/10
My rating: 9/10
