The scene where the man staggers into the crowded building trying to pull a knife out of his back … unbelievable amateurish filmmaking. Hitchcock is the most overrated director of all time. Anybody who could be thrilled by this lousy…

Hitchcock appears at the start of this movie trying to get on a bus. Eva Marie Saint was 35yrs old at the time of the filming of this movie. She looks more like 25.....Hitchcock certainly liked blonde actresses. See Grace Kelly, Tipi…

I really like Hitchcock, but this is probably the worst of his that I have seen. That's not to say that it is a horrible movie (its not), but I found the plot lacking suspense and believability. Maybe if I had not seen other Hitchcock…

Wonderful movie! Wonderful actors, dialogue, music, locations... They don't make movies like this anymore, with unparalleled style that permeates every aspect of the film. And the actors! Such poise, wit, and real star-power. One of my top…

Hitchcock at his sharpest. Art and commerce in a delicious salad with all the right ingredients. A brisk screenplay by Ernest Lehman a Cary Grant that is just pure delight, Eva Marie Saint fresh out of her Oscar from "On the Waterfront" is…

Close to a five-star rating...but it's not just the movie, folks. It's the package that rates highly, too. Hadn't seen North By Northwest for decades and decades, so indulged myself. This movie stands out in so many ways. The script,…

A very entertaining movie. Stylish, cheeky-sexy, suspenseful, smart-aleck-y, with great music. Some of the give and take in the script seems rather forced, but its enjoyable the first time one watches it.

These are the kind of movies children need to be watching instead of comedy (ugh) and animated movies.... Note: I, myself, am a kid.

I saw North by Northwest when I was 13-years-old and enjoyed it to the max. Previously all my viewings of Hitchcock films were with my parents or on television at home with plenty of commercials. The bedroom talk between Eva Marie…

Sorry guys, I was never a fan of Hitchcock. Nevertheless from time to time I watched one of his just try to convince myself that the reputation he enjoyed could not be wrong. The one I enjoyed most was The Man Who Knew Too Much. Thinking…

Cary Grant being chased by a crop dusting plane and climbing around on Mount Rushmore? Yes, please! This is one of Hitchcock's greatest films for sure.

i would like to mention the crop dusting scene, one of the finest scenes of suspense in the industry.

My favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie!! I see that as of today, 2/17/18, there are 44 patrons waiting on the four copies in the KCLS catalog. That is a shame. If I add my name, which I may still decide to do, it may be a long time before a…

I’ve been watching Alfred Hitchcock films this month (SPL has quite a few). I thought I had seen most of them, but did not remember North By Northwest (1959). Starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. Grant made four films with Hitchcock…

An old classic and still well worth watching.

This is absolutely a classic! One of my favorite lines in the movie: "How does a girl like you get to be a girl like you". One of the best movies, ever!

A great film, and certainly one of the most entertaining movies ever made, directed by Alfred Hitchcock at his peak.

This is a 1959 American thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock. With a memorable opening title sequence by graphic designer Saul Bass, this gripping, suspenseful and visually iconic film seems like Hitchcock's most stylish thriller and one…

Like it or not, it's the proto-James Bond movie.

One of my favorite movies. In classic Hitchcock mold, it contains action, suspense, mistaken identity, humor, exquisite photography, great acting (+ just a beautiful Eva Marie Saint), and did I mention, suspense? Also gives you a tour…

I can't believe I never saw this movie until now. It was beautifully filmed and an interesting story. It's amazing how well everyone articulated in old movies: no mumbling, no not being able to hear the dialogue. The plot twists were…
