North By Northwest

Cary Grant

Additional screening added on Wednesday 24 February (15.45) at GFT

The perfect Hitchcock thriller with Cary Grant at his debonair best as an innocent advertising executive mistakenly identified as a mythical figure fabricated by the C.I.A. Soon, he stands accused of murder and is running for his life tangled up in the velvety villainy of James Mason and falling in love with ice cool blonde Eva Marie Saint. A wonderful cocktail of cliffhanging adventure and witty romance peppered with virtuoso moments from the crop duster attack on a lonely desert highway to the nailbiting finale on the treacherous slopes of Mount Rushmore. A thrilling experience in this special 50th anniversary print.

Thanks to BFI.
