A case of mistaken identity for Roger Thornhill, sees him picked up by a dangerous, powerful villain, and later falsely accused of murder.
Some films and shows age badly, for all sorts of reasons, plot, acting, production values, not far of seventy years old, Hitchcock's masterpiece North by Northwest holds up as a true classic.
It will looks remarkably stylish, features a superb central acting performance, and boasts a plot most writers only dream of creating. Full of twists and turns, Hitchcock spins a terrific web.
It's not serious the whole way through, indeed there are a few lighter moments, I particularly loved the scene in the auction room, the look on the auctioneer's face throughout, brilliant.
Cary Grant is simply oozing with charisma, loaded with style, he offers real Hollywood Star quality, James Mason and Eva Marie Saint are equally brilliant.
A tremendous watch, 9/10.
