The classic thriller of monumental proportions

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2005)

Roger Thornhill(Cary Grant) is an advertising executive who is mistaken for a spy and is continuously chased around the united states by Phillip Vandamm(James Mason). With the help of Eve Kendall(Eva Marie Saint) he must find the real spy to bring some sort of relevance to his situation.
Hitchcock made a lot of good movies but North by Northest is definitely one of his greatest. It is a great, edge of your seat thriller that defies what prior movies had told it to be. It is an original, exciting film with three great performances from three big names(Saint, Mason, and Grant).
Mistaken identities happen can happen at almost anytime and being mistaken for someone else by the wrong person can be extremely scary. Unlike most of Hitchcock's films, this is not an openly terrifying movie but the premise is much more terrifying when thought on. Overall, this is flawless classic film that almost any audience can enjoy if they can stay entertained for the 2 hours and 15 minutes.
I highly recommend this movie.
