Look below for fabulous movie lover gifts!
Classic Movie Review: Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint are on the run from spies, the CIA and possibly each other in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic cross country tale of suspense; “North By Northwest" (1959). With a supporting cast headed by a suave James Mason as the head of the spy ring, Martin Landau as his gay henchman and Jessie Royce Landis as the comic relief, playing Grant's wisecracking mother, it’s a witty, suspenseful, ride with a fabulous score by Bernard Herrmann, that will keep you on the edge of your seats from beginning to end.

[@steph13326ify]

Cary Grant lends just the right amount of humor to this film, it's no wonder he was one of Hitchcock's VIPs.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

He did that with practically everything he did. On top of that. he always made it look so easy.

[@williamzavlaris4054]

Steve, you are as entertaining as the movies themselves. Your reviews are a bright light during these especially dark times. Heartfelt thanks!

[@eduardo_corrochio]

NxNW is easily one of the greatest thrillers of the last century. And that crop duster scene is Hitchcock at his zenith; the long, long period of nothing happening (Cary Grant just hanging around by the road) really builds the suspense to a tense crescendo before the action starts. Movies today don't seem to do things like that, use silence and time to create anxiety in the audience. Thanks for a fun review, as always ... and a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

I agree, Eduardo. They don't allow the silence of suspense to build. Everything is baded on short attention spans and instant gritification. Thanks for watching!

[@dovegrey1]

I bought the 50th anniversary DVD of this movie with lots of extras.....just love it and Martin Landau's line "Call it my female intuition"...hmmmm.... ;)

[@TheCarnivalguy]

One of my very favorite films I have seen countless times. Bernard Herrmann’s film score was outstanding, especially the edgy iconic overture during the opening credits. If I ever hit the lottery, that fictitious Frank Lloyd Wright inspired house on top of Mt. Rushmore will become a reality. I’ve always loved it! Thanks Steve! 🏳️‍🌈

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

My pleasure. I can never believe they didn't nominate Herrmann's score for this, "Vertigo" or "Psycho". Just so wrong! But...that's the Academy for you. Have a great day. Thanks for watching! best; Steve

[@scottsmith7419]

I love this movie, and the Herrman score is great, and you are great, too.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Thanks Scott! I LOVE the Herrmann score...but then, any movie with a Herrmann score is exceptional. His fantasy scores and his scores for Fox in the 50's were breathtatking as well.

[@flavin007]

Check out the movie "On Dangerous Ground" with Robert Ryan and Ida Lupino. The score is by Bernard Hermann (done before North by Northwest). Your will hear both the North by Northwest and Psycho scores,

[@leonalia]

Brillo. Gotta love Cary and Hitchcock. Unbeatable combination. Thank for a great review of an amazing movie.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

I'm so glad you liked it!

[@angelabolton4478]

Couple of points to be made after watching this video. 1. i see a new Steve Hayes stuff - i click. 2.

What's with all those vintage pictures of saucy hunks behind Steve? love it!! best regards darling!

[@petemichael4512]

Steve, Discovering your reviews has become a bright spot in my day. Watching these reviews of some of my favorite movies is like reminiscing with a friend who loves them as much as I do. Curious to know what your favorite Hitchcock is. There are so many I enjoy, but adore 39 Steps, Rebecca, Shadow of a Doubt, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho and this one. To be honest there's hardly a Hitchcock that I don't enjoy - with the exception of Under Capricorn. You are such a talent and your love of what you do shows.

[@stevenhayes4063]

Hey Pete; Happy New Year. Just catching up with my comments due to holiday madness, so please forgive me. I love "Vertigo best". It's also my favorite film in general, followed closely by Poell & Pressburger's "Black Narcissus". Now, back to the Hitchcock's. Over the years, I've become quite partial to what are considered the 'second tier" Hitchcocks. Three of these being ; ' Stage Fright", which I love for the remarkable British cast and for the thing he was critisized for most at he time of release, being the lie told through the use of a "falshback', which I think is an absolutely brilliant concept and so typical of his genius. .I love " I Confess" for the performance of Monty Clift, who I think gave one of the most insightful performances in any Hitchcock film, despite Hitch's not gettimg along with him and disliking the "method" and finally I love love "The Paradine Case', with it's star studded cast, the Selznick glamour and the money that was poured into the production. I also am obesessed with enigmatic Alida Valli in this and "The Third Man". and Louis Jourdan is breathtaking. I liked Hitchcock's work with Selznick, because the results were exactly what you expecetd them to be, high class productions in the grand Holywood manner. Hope you had lovely holidays. Thanks so much for watching and Happy New Year! Best Wishes; Steve

[@infonut]

Hi Steve it’s Theodore again! I wanted to let you know that I have started a classic movie class at the place I go to called North Star it’s not really a school self directed learning for Teens anyone can start a class there! Anyway this was the first movie I have shown in the class showed the first part last week and the second part one week later. I had a decent amount of people there both classes and I’ve found someone my age who loves Hepburn Bette and Joan just as you and I do! I’ve never taught a class before so I’m a little bit nervous and unsure of what to say at times but I will probably get better as the year goes on!

Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann were one of cinema's great director-composer teams. (Others include David Lean-Maurice Jarre, Steven Spielberg-John Williams, Blake Edwards-Henry Mancini, Federico Fellini-Nino Rota, Walter Hill-Ry Cooder...) Several cast members soon turned up on TV: Martin Landau on MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, Leo G Carroll on THE MAN FROM UNCLE, Edward Platt (Cary Grant's lawyer) on GET SMART.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Yes. The work they did together was iconic. Best; Steve

[@sprague49]

The actor who got the knife in the back at the UN was Philip Ober. He was married to Vivian Vance and appeared in a couple of I Love Lucy episodes, most memorably as Dore Schary, head of MGM, in the hilarious "Don Juan is Shelved."

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Evidently, he was also a nasty piece of work and abused Vivian. Lucy couldn't stand him and constantly urged Vivian to get rid of him, which she eventually did. Thanks for watching! Steve

[@alidabaxter5849]

Dear Steve, I have postponed and postponed commenting on this fabulous film (and your lovely review), simply because it's the last Hitchcock on your website that I have left to talk about with you. I hope sometime you will review an earlier Hitchcock or two ("The Lady Vanishes", which I'm enormously fond of, or even "Foreign Correspondent" - Joel McCrea, and the scene with the umbrellas!) but "North by Northwest" is so incredibly glossy, so slick, from the very first moment of that wonderful score, (and you're absolutely right about the titles - I've never seen anything like them) that you're taken over completely and the film never lets you go. I love the wit of it - Cary Grant, drunk, on the phone to his mother from the police station, "No, they didn't give me a chaser". And doesn't Hitchcock love putting him in danger in a fast car, with Ingrid Bergman in "Notorious", with Joan Fontaine in "Suspicion", with Grace Kelly in "To Catch A Thief". Eva Marie Saint is lovely and sexy beyond belief, and I wish she'd taken Hitchcock's advise to play more roles like this one, because she's sensational. And I'm a pushover for James Mason, who just makes me curl up at the edges, so I adore every moment, from first to last. What I love so much about your reviews is that you're not only so knowledgeable, you're so funny. And funny is difficult. Long ago I was known for writing funny books, both non-fiction and fiction, which got very good reviews here and sold a lot of copies (hence the author tour of Australia), and when a journalist asked my mother what I was like when I was writing she said, "She cries all the time!" Have a lovely Easter and best wishes, Alida

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Dear Alida; I simply adore this film. It was so wise of him to follow the disturbing complexities of "Vertigo" with this light, cross country chase. A return to the days of "The 39 Steps". I 've never felt that it got the recognition that it should. I think perhaps because Hitchcock made it all look so easy. This film has everything and it was one of the last collaborations with his terrific production team and Bernard Herrmann. I love sinister, blue eyed Marin Landau ; " Call it my woman's intuition". And, of course Jessie Royce Landis ; ' Roger, PAY the two dollars!" Hilarious. Mason is so suave and sinister." That wasn't sporting at all, using real bullets." And Cary should have been nominated. It's the Cary Grant of all Cary Grant characters! Only Cary coud take this penny pinching, perrenial bachelore/curmudgeon and make him simultaiously sexy and funny at the same time. It's why he's always been my favorite classic film actor, he could do it all and better than anyone. Cary could do it all. The Lady Vanishes " and " Foreign Corrospondent" are both on my list. I tuck them away because I don't want to run out of terrific Hitchcock's. Your mother should have known that the funniest people are often the saddest underneath. I'm currentkly reading a biography of the great Margaret Rutherford, who had such a targic childhood and suffered from mental illness throughout her life. Yet, she was remarkable, cherished and remembered as one of the greatst, natural, comic actresses to ever hit the screen or grace the stages of the world. I always think you are very funny and find myself giggling at your astute obserbations and ever ready wit. Have a lovely Easter as well! Always lovely to hear from you. " Steve

[@mikeletaurus4728]

It's the United Nations Building, not the Gulf+Western Building. The key scene, Grant's character being mistaken as George Townsend's murderer, was set in the UN (well, actually, it was shot on a set, but it's meant to take place at the UN). Apparently, the exterior shot of Grant entering the UN Building was stolen by Hitchcock's crew. The camera was concealed in a carpet shampooing truck parked across the street.

Just terrific!

Great movie, but even as a kid I realized there was a HUGE hole in the plot -- what are the odds Grant ends up on the same train as the bad guys by coincidence: ZERO. I read years later that it bothered Ernest Lehman, too, but Hitchcock brushed it off and they continued writing the script. Vertigo has a similar huge hole. What are the odds that the murderer will bet everything on Stewart not being able to reach the top of the tower and expose the plot: ZERO. Great movies if you don't think too much, though. Apparently Hitchcock's lapses in logic in favor of showmanship were too much for Raymond Chandler on "Strangers on a Train". Murder by Merry-Go-Round? He quit.

Don Brown how interesting!

[@Fandango541]

Beware the person who says 'I read years later'.... can you tell us what year, where did you read it, who wrote it? The odds are certain they would get on the 20th Century Limited because they were following him AND at that time, from NYC the only train that ran non-stop to Chicago was the 20th Century Limited. What were the odds that Scotty would not reach the top were certain in that Madeline's husband was his old college roommate, he knew Scotty well, and Scotty had just gotten out of a mental hospital after his breakdown brought on by Acrophobia. What are the odds that you are trying to let everyone know how clever and genius you are? EXCELLENT. But guess what? You are neither so do us a favor and keep your opinions to yourself. Thanks ever so! 😒

@@Fandango541 I've read so many books on Hitchcock I can't remember which one talked about Ernie Lehman's doubts. I read it about ten years ago, so a relatively recent book on him. The train is not the ONLY form of transportation from New York to Chicago, I hate to inform you. Why wouldn't they fly just as likely? However you look at it, the train is a huge coincidence that the writer was aware of. In the book I read on Hitchcock and his writers, he referred to what he called the "cold chicken problem" -- when people would start picking apart the plot after seeing the film over leftovers. "Vertigo" is an example he mentioned.

@@Fandango541 At the time the 20th Century Limited was the New York Central's flagship train from NYC to Chicago, the Pennsylvania Railroad's flagship train from NYC to Chicago was the Broadway Limited. I think both trains made stops along different routes between NYC and Chicago. The Erie Lackawanna went from Hoboken to Chicago. By the way North by Northwest is a movie, a very exciting and enjoyable movie, not a class in Aristotelean dramaturgical logic.

@@donbrown1284 I think films are better when they just assume little details and just set the scenes regardless. He had what he called The Icebox System or Syndrome ( something liked that ) which he said meant the more puzzling even unlikely the plot was the better, as people would come back and watch it again - probably seek it out like getting up in the middle of the night, getting a piece of chicken out of the refrigerator and making a sandwich and sit in the lounge trying to work it out. Poetic license I'd call it, the suspension of logic. After all the imagination it is, not a law report

Happy Thanksgiving Steve... another great review... love your impressions ❤️🤣

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Thanks, Judy!

The REAL Mr. Townsend killed at the U.N. is Philip Ober, Kerr's nasty husband in From Here to Eternity and in real life Vivian Vance's abusive husband. Roger Thornhill's secretary in the beginning. If you are a N by NW fan, you know that Roger's secretary is named Maggie and that she is played by Doreen Lang who was one of the robbed Insurance office secretaries in Hitchcock's The Wrong Man as well as prominent (at Hitch's insistence) in several of his TV shows. He gave her her best role as the hysterical mom who thinks Tippi Hedren is 'evil' in the the diner scene inThe Birds.

Brilliant film, brilliant review!😉

As many times as I've watched this movie I never picked up on how he was mistaken for Caplan. I'm such a dunce.

[@marjoriemargel1567]

I will explain it to you.... no, I won’t. Just download the movie, and pay attention when Cary Grant is in the business meeting right before he is kidnapped . That it, pay attention... even Steve Hayes describes it .....

[@lloyd2364]

[@rickchris7698]

How interesting. After the longest time, YT actually recommended a video from Steve's channel, KZbin had even unsubscribed me. I thought Steve had stopped making videos. I'm also getting recommendations for videos from channels I also thought had disappeared - YT had also unsubscribed me from them as well. Could it be because of the latest brouhaha about the COPPA thing, YT changed it's algorithm? In any case, good to see Tired Old Queen at the Movies videos again!
