"North by Northwest"

It is considered Alfred Hitchcock's spiciest and most suspenseful film to date! Released in 1959, "North by Northwest" stars Cary Grant as Madison Avenue advertising executive, Eva Marie Saint as Eve Kendall and Roger Thornhill.



"North by Northwest" is not only a gem in movie history with Hitchcock using his normal wit to describe his film, but a visual wonderland filled with chic and sophisticated threads.

Running in a corn field, Cary Grant is pursued by a field-working plane. Strutting in a polished grey suit, Grant literally running for his life!



Synopsis: "Middle-aged Madison Avenue advertising executive Roger O. Thornhill is mistaken for a government agent by a gang of spies. He gets involved in a series of misadventures and is pursued across the States by both the spies and the government whilst being helped by a beautiful blonde."
