A confident, well-made thriller is the least you can say about North by Northwest. Hitchcock never relents on the tension and the story developments, despite reaching the near-absurd, never feel off-the-mark in this incredible adventure.

Another classic by Hitchcock that remains extremely watchable today. A case of mistaken identity leads to a thrilling spy action story that plays as a proto-James Bond film.

Over-complicated and convoluted plot. And ad-man turns into Double-O-Thornhill instananeously, which is downright preposterous. Still, it's Hitchcock so there's a lot to like. And the extra kid with his fingers in his ears during the gunshots at the end is one of the all-time film bloopers, which is always good for a giggle.

A masterfully constructed film that perfectly balances action, suspense, humor, and romance with a razor-sharp script and impeccable direction. Often imitated by later action thrillers, but never duplicated.

REWATCH: 73 -> 78. The incredible scenario combined witch Hitchcock's directing make up for a most entertaining film. It is clear however that some credibility is sacrificed for the sake of the story (for example the knife scene). Also, the leading cast is extraordinary.
