Very entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2020)

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.
Quite reminiscent of Hitchcock's own The 39 Steps, though this one's on a much greater scale. It's a bit of a messy film, and maybe also a tad formulaic, but it's a lot of fun to watch, and is probably one of Hitchcock's most entertaining movies. Worth watching for the crop-duster scene alone, which may well be one of the greatest scenes in motion picture history- absolutely brilliant tension-building and visual effects, and maybe my favourite scene from any Hitchcock film on this list. 8/10
