The masterpiece spy thriller North by Northwest was released in 1959 and directed by legendary director Alfred Hitchcock. The main plot deals with an advertising executive in New York City named Roger Thornhill, played by the legendary leading man Carey Grant. Unfortunately, Mr. Thornhill is the victim of mistaken identity, and the film's plot deals with him traveling by train, car, bus, and plane all over the country from a group of evil spies.
Another important character in the film is Eve Kendall. The brilliant Eva Marie Saint plays her. The main villain is the ringleader of a spy organization Phillip Vandamm, played by James Mason. And his second in command is Leonard, played by the fantastic Martin Landau.
Some of the incredible locations chosen for filming were Grand Central Station, Chicago Midway Airport, United Nations Headquarters, LaSalle Street Station, Mount Rushmore, and more!
Along with my review of the film, I also talk about the casting choices, filming locations, and the lore surrounding Cary Grant's gray suit. If you are a fashion fan, I recommend listening to this last part.
