A guy walks out of an advertising agency....

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2013)

While spending a couple of days with my wife and I, my mother asked me "Do you have any good movies ?"
My reply : "Have we met ?"
This woman has known me for 40 (shudder) years. (35 of which I have been a confirmed movie FREAK)
We went through the personal collection and settled on one of my personal Top 10 North by Northwest.
I'm certain you've seen it. If you haven't, you've seen the iconic shot of Cary Grant being chased by a crop duster or part of the climax on Mt. Rushmore.
You should watch this movie.
If you haven't seen it, I'll repeat myself....Hitchcock, Grant, Mason (that should be sufficient).
If you have seen it, you should revisit it. If for no other reason than to see how tension, humor, and drama used to be achieved without graphic violence, vulgarity/profanity, and/or nudity.
Cary Grant plays Roger Thornhill. He's an advertising man of the original "Mad Men" era. By an ordinary coincidence, he is mistaken for a government agent by a ruthless spy (Mason) and his henchmen. What follows is a humorous and exciting journey from New York all the way to Mt. Rushmore.
Sorry, "Jason Bourne". Nice try, "Dr. Kimble". This is the ultimate "man-on-the-run" film for my money.
My rating : 10 out of 10 (Masterpiece)
