Film 87 "North By Northwest" IMDB No. 38

That wasn't very sporting, using real bullets.


1959 Alfred Hitchcock
Classic Hitchcock suspense thriller staring the the super cool Cary Grant.
New York advertising executive Roger Thornhill is mistaken for a government agent by a gang of spies and is chased across America by both groups. Crammed with classic scenes and quotes. "Now you listen to me, I'm an advertising man, not a red herring. I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself "slightly" killed"
The James Bond films of the 60s must have used this film as their template.
7/10
