  1. Cary Grant was so good looking and youthful that the actress who played his mother in this film was apparently actually younger than he was at the time this was filmed. I think he was the ultimate leading man. If Cary had been born a decade or two later, Sean Connery may not have got a look in for the role of James Bond. Great as Connery was .

  2. You might like "Charade", very much in the same line – who is really the bad guy here? Also with Cary Grant, BTW, and Audrey Hepburn. Also Walter Matthau, James Coburn, and a slew of others you've probably seen before. And Henry Mancini did the musical score.

  3. The train going into the tunnel was a cheap gag, but you exclaiming, "A happy ending!" made me laugh, although you didn't mean anything by it. Of course, we live in a time when nearly anything you say can be twisted into a sexual innuendo.

  4. At 14:03 we see a common Hollywood movie trope. A person is murdered and the murder weapon is left behind. The protagonist is the first person on the scene. The first thing they will do is grab/pick-up/handle the murder weapon, thereby ensuring that their fingerprints are on the weapon making them the No. 1 suspect.

  5. I love how you really got into this movie. Not bad for an "old" movie, wasn't it? This was a time when plot and dialogue were important. (Not over-the-top CGI). Now try Rear Window or Vertigo or Dial M for Murder or The Birds.

  17. My Dad was a fan of Hitchcock’s films, saw a number on original release. I was born in 1969, and my Dad took me to a rare cinema showing of NbNW in 1981. We traveled by train, on many of our family vacations, then. Dad took me to see Shadow of a Doubt, Lifeboat, Rear Window, Rope, the Trouble with Harry, and Vertigo -all in the 80’s, I’m cinema. I’ve seen 38 of Hitchcock’s 52 films.
    Liked your ref’ to Mad Men, advertisement at start.
    When I lived in Chicago, during the 90’s, I visited a few sites, the train station is gone, the Ambassador hotel is still open. The field with the plane chase was in California and studio.
    A fun moment, at the cafeteria for Mt.Rushmore, a boy puts his fingers in his ears -the gunshot, had been fine a few times, and this kid, wanted to cushion the ‘bang’ in his ears. (Bloooper)

  20. When Roger and Eve are flirting in the dining car, she actually said "I never make love on an empty stomach". The censors did not allow that and made Hitchcock overdub "I never discuss love on an empty stomach". If you look closely you can see her saying "make" while her dubbed dialogue says "discuss".

  25. I just watched an excellent early movie called "Devil and The Deep" (1932). starring Gary Cooper, Gloria Swanson, Cary Grant and Charles Laughton. All of them, young and in their prime. Romance and drama

  26. I know you don't know some of these other actors but this is an Allstar cast. Some of these people went on to be really big stars, like James Mason, and a young Martin Landau

  27. I might suggest you turn up the volume on the movies or turn down your volume. I had to turn up the movie to hear it but then when you'd speak your volume was really loud. Just a suggestion. 🙂

  28. Hitch was a versatile director.
    From the ones I've ssen, this is – I think – my favourite.
    Great story. Awesome acting.
    The auction scene still makes me laugh out loud. The lady sitting next to him (played by Paula Winslowe) is doing great, too. One of those uncredited parts that can make a difference.

  30. Trivia: Grant used LSD (under his dr’s supervision,) and he said he greatly benefited from it 😊. Also Hitch couldn’t get permission to film on mnt Rushmore; the climax is shot on an amazing soundstage! 🎉

  33. North by Northwest is one of the best examples of a "Hitchcock" movie. Hitch made thrillers, suspense movies. Psycho and The Birds (and Frenzy) or outlier horror movies. Most of Hitchcock's movies had some semblance of fun and many had great romances. Check out "To Catch a Thief", "Notorious", "Dial M for Murder", "Rear Window", and "Strangers on a Train".

  34. "What is his accent" is the classic question about Cary Grant. Born in poverty in the Bristol, England, he moved to the U.S. at the age of 16, working in touring vaudeville shows until he ended up in Hollywood. His real name was Archie Leach! At the time, many American films taught actors to speak in a "Mid-Atlantic accent" — a completely artificial accent designed to be comprehensible everywhere English was spoken, and to sound vaguely "high class" or "sophisticated". Grant's version of this was unique, influenced by his unusual life history. People made jokes about it, because only Cary Grant talked like Cary Grant. He had an accent all to himself. It was part of the personality that he created, as he gradually became the very image of the cool and debonair man with a touch of sensitivity. With his staggering good looks, he was the ultimate screen idol. In the film "Some Like It Hot", starring Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis, Curtis does a spoof of him, copying his manners and unique accent, and Jack Lemon says to him "Nobody talks like that!".

  35. One of my favorite movies from the Master of Suspense! He really was… and he had a thing for blondes… Glad you enjoyed it! It's one of my favorite movies. Always fun to rewatch. THANK YOU!

  36. 16:40 Enter the wonderful Eva Marie Saint 🤗🤩

    Cassie, you HAVE to watch 'On the Waterfront (1954)' – Marlon Brando's best film and a big reason is Edie who he meets. Eva Marie Saint remains one of the few to ever win an Oscar for their first role in a major motion picture, winning Best Supporting Actress for "On the Waterfront.”
    And then of course 'A Streetcar Names Desire (1951)'….!! (You girls will definitely like that…😊)

  41. Nope. The MPS did not give permission for Hitch to shoot his film on the faces. They had to construct a replica on the backlot. The hotel in Rapid was real, though. The Johnson Rapid is a local landmark on St. Joe.
