One of the Masters Best Achievement

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2019)

There is a lot to say about this legendary movie. It has been called one of the greatest films of all time, and to be fair, it is. Many of the great spy thrillers and action movies owe this movie a lot.
Cary Grant is wonderful in this part, and so are the rest of the cast. Mason was never better than here and Saint has her best part since On the Waterfront. The cinematography is masterful, especially during the legendary crop duster sequence. The musical score is memorable and the editing is also very good.
The plot can get a little convoluted at times, but it does not falter this otherwise great experience.
North By Northwest may not be better than some of Hitchcock's other films such as Rear Window or Vertigo, but it deserves its duel title of classic and masterpiece.
