[?]* (Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, 1959; 2h 16m; FSK: ab 12)
Classic Hitchcock spy thriller in which a New York advertising executive is mistaken for an undercover agent, framed for murder, and chased across the country in his efforts to clear his name. Featuring now-famous scenes in iconic settings, humor, suspense and impeccable suits from Cary Grant’s own private wardrobe. North by Northwest was an influential precursor to the James Bond films. Starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason.

“This is a classic thriller, slick as ice and about as exciting as you can stand.”
– Florence Epstein, Modern Screen

“Very little of it makes sense, but no matter.”
– Harold V. Cohen, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“A great film, and certainly one of the most entertaining movies ever made, directed by Alfred Hitchcock at his peak.”
– Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
