North by Northwest | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Cary Grant teams with director Alfred Hitchcock for the fourth and final time in this superlative espionage caper judged one of the American Film Institute's Top-100 Films and spruced up with a new digital transfer and remixed Dolby Digital Stereo. He plays a Manhattan advertising executive plunged into a realm of spy (James Mason) and counterspy (Eva Marie Saint) and variously abducted, framed for murder, chased and in another signature set piece, crop-dusted. He also holds on for dear life from the facial features of the Presidents on Mount Rushmore (backlot sets were used). But don't expect the Master of Suspense to leave star or audience hanging.

Synopsis: Much-loved thriller chronicles the cross-country manhunt for an ad executive mistaken as government agent by a spy ring. A must for fans of classic, fast-paced cliffhangers. Great introduction to Hitchcock for curious viewers.
