Roger Thornhill: I'm beginning to think I'm underpaid.

Rating: 3/10 (25 April 2019)

North by Northwest has an uninteresting plot and little else.
The auction scene is funny, but a lot of it is just weak. Like why he would grab the knife out the guys back or when he is shot by the blanks, there is no blood and the body is never even turned over. Why the mother is involved at all and why are the police allowing her presence. Saint is fine, but she doesn't have the impact that the other actresses in Hitchcock's films do. Grant had to carry the film and didn't carry it enough.
