The Best of all the Hitchcock Thrillers

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2001)

This is certainly one of Alfred Hitchcock's finest suspense/thrillers he made in the United States. Why he wasn't at least nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this is unbelievable. It is a bit long, but attention-holding story of business executive Grant on the lamb from two spies who think he is a secret government agent, and then becomes wanted by the law for a murder he did not commit. During this ordeal, he falls in love with the beautiful Eva Marie Saint. Of course, this is the one in which Grant fights for his life against the airplane in a crop-dusting field, and the one where the riveting finale occurs on the peak on Mount Rushmore. Four stars!
