Movie Reviews of North By Northwest
Movie Review: The Ultimate Hitchcock
Summary: 5 Stars
Though it premiered in 1959 and the director still had many more movies to make (PSYCHO among them), NORTH BY NORTHWEST seems like every Hitchcock movie rolled into one. There is mistaken identity, murder and attempted murder, a love triangle, a harrowing car-ride sequence, VERTIGO-like "cliffhangers," one suspenseful camera shot after another, and a great Bernard Herrmann score. Cary Grant is superb, and the supporting cast of Eva-Marie Saint, James Mason, and Martin Landau could not be bettered. The film's "glorious Technicolor" fits the lavishness of its setting and plot.Movie Review: Intense
Summary: 5 Stars
"North by Northwest" is an in tense film made in the concept of the wrong man at the wrong time, just like in "The Man that Knew Too Much". Hitchcock is amaster ofdirection and he has chosen a brilliant cast to go with an equally briniant plot. The characters delelop well and Cary Grant offers an amazing perfomance of an innocent man chased all over the US in order to save his life and proove his innocence. Meanwhile romance is thrown in the plot with a mystirious but gorgeous Eva Marie Saint.
A great addition to your collection.
Movie Review: The Greatest Hitchcock Movie and the Greatest Cary Grant Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Easily the best Hitchcock or Cary Grant movie ever made--filled with suspense and comedy throughout. It works as well today as it did almost 50 years ago and doesn't seem dated. This movie can be watched over and over again with great pleasure. By now you know the classic cropduster scenes and Mt. Rushmore scene, but there are other great parts of the film as well. Other than it maybe being a bit long during the love scenes, this movie is picture perfect.
It's one of my top five movies of all time.
Movie Review: 1959 HITCHCOCK: 50th anniversary edition remastered.
Summary: 5 Stars
One of Hitchcock's best films, and probably his most entertaining film. Partly because of the fact that the film is light hearted, but still a suspense drama. Also, because of Cary Grant as the leading man, really carries the film along. Both funny and dramatic, with some well executed action sequences. The newly remastered version looks and sounds even better than before. Disc two, doesn't really have anything new on it, though.Movie Review: Stylish, clever and fun.
Summary: 5 Stars
From the opening titles and the Bernard Herrmann score, to the set (who could forget the Mt. Rushmore house!) and clothing design meshing beautifully, North by Northwest is the most sylish Hitchcock film ever. Great casting and chemistry between players ensure you'll enjoy one of Hitchcock's four masterpieces. Comedic elements, suspense and romance all make for a truly entertaining film. One of my all-time favorites.
