Sheer Pleasure

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2017)

I've always thought Cary Grant was at his peak in North by Northwest. What a delicious pleasure watching him trying not to be Roger Thornhill, the stuff of movie legends. Hitchcock directs an outstanding action adventure with the remote corn field scene a cinema highlight, again the stuff of movie legends. Life is filled with tantalizing glimpses of immortality, North by Northwest as a movie comes as close as it gets.
