Excellent film from a master scenemaker!

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2000)

The acting's great, the script's great, and the movie's filled with suspense, but what's really memorable about NORTH BY NORTHWEST, like most of Hitchcock's films, is his ability to direct suspenseful, riveting, and masterful scenes. The Rushmore sequence and the auction scene come to mind.
Truly a genius!
