Enjoyable movie

Rating: Null/10 (20 March 2002)

I liked Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest very much. It was not quite what I expected, having seen some of his darker films. North by Northwest was a film about espionage, deceit and the framing of an innocent man. Cary Grant's performance was wonderful. His character went through a huge range of emotions as he learned of the elaborate espionage plot, and he played each one very well . Eva-Marie Saint portrayed the mysterious Eve quite well. A well-written script and Hitchcock's great direction made North by Northwest a great thriller and incredibly enjoyable movie. It was action-packed and exciting. The film was well made and superbly acted; it is a fine piece of work.
