Summary: This is the greatest movie I've ever seen
Review: I would definetely recommend this video for all Alfred Hitchcock fans. It is very exciting. I like it how Hitchcock makes an appearance in all his movies (in this one he missed his bus at the beginning). But the whole plot of a businessman getting drugged because he is mistaken for someone else is great. It has a lot of twists in it. Hope you see this great movie!!!

Summary: it has everything
Review: This is truly a movie that has everything.It is suspensful, romantic, and hilarious(any scene with Cary Grant's mother).This is one of Hitchcock's best but is probably largely overshadowed by "Psycho", and the good but overrated "Vertigo". For a great,but unorthadox,double feature try watching this with Hitch's for gotten masterpiece "Rope"

Summary: An Absolute Classic
Review: Poor Cary Grant- he never won an Oscar for any of his performances. He certainly deserved one for this masterpiece. I like many of Hitchcock's movies, but this is his best. It is thrilling, elaborate, and enthralling. Grant and Mason are perfect, and Saint is a very good seductress. "North By Northwest" has had loads of accolades heaped upon it, and it warrants all of them. Moreover, it is a testament that truly great films can be made with a minimum or total lack of violence, cursing, and sex.

Summary: A masterpiece only Hitchcock could make!
Review: This is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it about a dozen times and it only gets better each time. Watch the little boy cover his ears in the background in the scene where Eva Marie Saint "shoots" Cary Grant. This is a must see movie if there ever was one!

Summary: HITCHCOCK`S ONLY FOR MGM - A CLASSIC
Review: North By Noryhwest(1959) was Hitchcock`s last masterpiece concerning a man who had to prove his innocence(Others were Foreign Correspondent, The Man who Knew Too Much 1938 & 1955, Strangers on a Train and The Wrong Man). THIS was maybe his best on this theme. Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason and Martin Landau all excelled in their roles. Opening credits by Saul Bass, photography by Robert Burks and music by Bernard Herrmann also worth credit... North by Northwest, ranks with PSYCHO, THE BIRDS and MARNIE as my all-time favorite Hitchcock films...

Summary: One of my favorite films of all time!
Review: This film starts with a bang--an unbelievable abduction through mistaken identity--and it's full speed ahead from there. All the famous scenes that have already been mentioned by the critics, plus some of my favorites: the suave way the "bad guys" make it look like Roger T. was lying or hallucinating about the night before (when they abducted and drugged him), the scene where he shaves with the tiniest razor, and my personal favorite--his wacky but clever behavior at the auction! I've seen this one about a half-dozen times and it's still entertaining!

Summary: The most important American film of the 1950s
Review: Not only is this film well-executed in every detail, but it defines the action genre for the rest of the Century. In a sense, this is the first Bond film, with all the action sequences, surprise cutaways and fabulous style, women and cars. Our hero is a middle-aged, but fabulous, batchelor who is clearly a babe magnet. The "baddies" are a new class of ambiguous either-or characters, as well. And Eva Marie Saint as reformed spy? What could be better.The transition from the urbane and urban Mr. Thornhill to hunted animal in the Godforsaken Midwest presages James Bond at his best. The role of Mr. Hermann's fine score is not to be underestimated. Rarely has background music defined the sense of risk and tension the way it does in North by Northwest. Again, the high standards set by the film score may not have been matched even forty years later. Finally, this film demonstrates the versatility of Mr. Hitchcock's creativity. Stylistically, it has very little connection with the films that preceeded or followed it; it stands on its own in a very impressive life-long body of work by this director.

Summary: Playful trip
Review: Like most of Hitchcock's films, this one has not stood the test of time particularly well. The fact that Grant is the same age as the woman who plays his mother is the least of this movie's problems. The dialogue is artificially witty, and the social morés of the day do not translate well today. In the end, this movie comes across as plain silly, sort of an old time Magnum PI, Hitchcock style. Frosting with almost no cake, enjoyable but no more than that.
