First James Bond was Sean Connery.First Bond film 1962 three years after this film .Super observant from you guys because the producer's of the early Bond films were considering Cary Grant for the role because of his role here but Grant turned them down because of age concern's from him and the producer's.

[@arconeagain]

Then George Lazenby, the only Bond to cry. I just discovered he's still alive aged 84. He lives not too far from me. Eva Marie Saint is also still with us, she's 99!

[@Cau_No]

There's actually one earlier Bond Movie, a U.S. TV adaptation of "Casino Royale" from 1954, made just one year after the publication of the novel. And it's the only time the British agent was cast with an American actor. There was also a parody movie from the same source material made in 1967, before EON productions finally used the novel to reboot the franchise with Daniel Craig. But yes, the 'official' start of the franchise is "Dr. No" Also there is Hitchcock's "Marnie", starring Sean Connery and Tippi Hedren from "The Birds".

[@UWalvern0810]

Also, Grant wanted a $1,000,000.00 salary - which was the entire budget of the film. I snickered every time you two called this “A James Bond movie with a lower budget.” 😂😂

[@dennisgarcia3901]

Also, he had just finished North by Northwest, a spy movie, so he considered not doing that again.

[@davidschecter5247]

Simply one of the greatest thrillers in history. The dialogue and plot are SO clever!

[@fractuss]

I love this movie.

[@clarencewalker3925]

Eva Marie Saint is an Oscar winner and 99 years young. She is one of the last of Hollywood's Golden Age actresses.

[@PedroCastillo_1980]

Amazing classic North by Northwest directed by Alfred Hitchcock starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason and Martin Landau. Thank you guys great reaction excellent 👍👍👍👍

[@donroberts5383]

I must say ,your wife followed this confusing plot much better than most people I've seen react to this classic film. Good job !

[@patmcgroin6916]

In the game Medieval Total War the family members who marry well can receive character traits - "wife is smart", "wife is attractive", and "wife is useful" if they luck out when marrying a princess. I must say, Marian lucked out, lol! Awesome movie. Love the classy style of the period. Funny story...Cary Grant was an early habitual user of LSD, almost on a daily basis, originally for some kind of nervous disorder, from the 50's onward. Really. He was probably on it during the filming of this movie. What a cool customer, ha ha!

[@fractuss]

I have seen this movie many times but she caught a few things I had missed.

[@clg3697]

My favorite Hitchcock movie. Cary Grant is my forever actor. Thank you for the review. "The Man Who Knew Too Much" is another great Hitchcock. He made the film twice so be sure to watch the 2nd one, also starring Jimmy Stewart (from "Rear Window"). 💜

[@joebloggs396]

I prefer the first. But for Jimmy Stewart Rope is better anyway, and obviously Vertigo.

[@robfinlay8058]

[@ralphroshia9247]

Alfred Hitchcock is the first person we see he's the man at the beginning running to catch the bus

[@philchazwill]

Hitchcock!! ... Game Over.

[@drlee2]

Your comment that this felt like a James Bond film was spot on because this film was in part an inspiration to the James Bond franchise, the first film of which premiered 3 years after this movie in 1962 (Dr. No). The "undercover secret agent" with multiple identities pursuing and being pursued by an international criminal mastermind across various famous locations (the UN and Mount Rushmore here), the action set pieces, the Bond girl (usually there's a good one and a bad one, but Eve gets to play both versions). I also think of North by Northwest as a very early prototype for the modern summer action adventure blockbuster movie. Hitchcock also unofficially created the slasher film sub-genre with Psycho.

[@gerardcote8391]

Everyone misses it on first watch. The 2 guys in the hotel had George Kaplan paged to find out who he was. He just decided just as the bell boy called out Kaplan's name to call the bellboy to send a telegram to his secretary. That is why they thought he was George Kaplan.

[@rich_t]

A fun fact: when Eve shoots the blank gun at Mt. Rushmore the kid in the background knew it was coming and you can see him plug his ears. 😂

[@slc2466]

Another one: Donna Douglas, who went on to star in "The Beverly Hillbillies," can be seen walking across the screen at the film's outset (she's a brunette).

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

You’ve got sharp eyes.

[@gammaanteria]

Even the opening gives a sense of thrill. The rumble of the timpani and ominous low notes, the MGM lion logo with the atypical green border, Saul Bass’ askew parallel line graphic design, dissolving to the building facade in NYC…and that’s before anything has even begun!

[@civwar054]

The great Bernard Hermann, of course. Just thrilling! and that love theme, sublime!

[@jackmessick2869]

This was the first film with "animated" credits that didn't just scroll, be a still card, or have a hand turn pages in a scrapbook-sized book. Letters/characters actually move dynamically around the screen. So ground breaking in many ways.

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

You are so right-the opening is a feast for the eyes and ears.

[@DewJee2019]

They took Roger because he raised his hand to summon the boy so he could call his mother right after the criminals paged George Kaplan to identify George Kaplan. The criminals thought he was responding to the page. This was a fantastic reaction by you guys. Very funny. Action comedy I would say. Some people say that this was "the first James Bond movie".

[@davidryan1295]

Noticed how Hitchcock used a tongue & cheek double entendre, having the train go through the tunnel at the very end.

[@jameskelly8586]

I think the budget would have been high for 1959. They had to recreate the United Nations building and Mt. Rushmore and do a lot of location shooting. And Cary Grant was one of the highest paid actors at the time. The early James Bond movies probably didn't cost so much. The climax at a famous site is a signature of other Hitchcock movies.

[@TedLittle-yp7uj]

NBNW is really better described as James Bond without the gimmicks. The spy toys and explosions seem to me to be the only real expense in those films.

[@jamesbattista1466]

The United Nations Building was the real one…no re-creation. That had to sneak cameras to film the plaza scenes…where you can see real policemen patrolling.

[@Progger11]

I think he was basically just saying that Cary Grant's character was essentially "discount James Bond" since he didn't have proper agent training.

[@anttyzale5455]

The Mount Rushmore was done on a sound stage> Mt Rushmore was a model set.

[@AlunThomas-mp5qo]

The then unknown Sean Connery was only paid £15,000 for appearing in the first James Bond film. Cary Grant at that time was the highest paid movie star in Hollywood so North by Northwest would have been one on the highest budgeted movies on 1959.

[@Ceractucus]

Hey guys, wonderful reaction as always! Thanks for reacting to this absolute classic by the master himself, Alfred Hitchcock. In the beginning it's a bit confusing as to why the two guys think Thornhill (Cary Grant) is George Kaplan. It's easy to miss but before Thornhill realizes he needs to notify his secretary about something, a page is going around the room calling out for a Mr. Kaplan. When Thornhill calls the page, the two guys assume he is responding to the page asking for Mr. Kaplan. This movie came out just 4 years before the first James Bond movie, and it really served as the blueprint for all the early Bond films. The femme fatales who turn good, the high class well-spoken villains, etc. I would love for you to both watch more Hitchcock movies. Sorry if I mention a movie you've already seen. Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho, Shadow of a Doubt and Notorious.

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

That’s a great idea-there are so many wonderful Hitchcock movies from that era.

[@DavidAntrobus]

Eve Kendall is played by Eva Marie Saint, who is ninety-nine years old now! Her role is so pivotal in this movie, so magnetic.

[@slc2466]

Yep, she turns 100 on July 4th. I have a tribute video to Ms. Saint on my channel if anyone wants to check it out.

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

Wow,l’m amazed she’s still alive.

[@dabe1971]

Hitchcock's best film, my absolute favourite and I've watched it so many times. Such a clever premise that a simple request to send a telegram could lead to such adventures. And it shows that Archie Leach made the right decision to leave little old Bristol to seek fame and fortune in the USA. It's amazing how many people don't realise he wasn't a born and bred American, he fitted into the world of Hollywood so well. Oh and the best use of an innuendo ending ever ! 😂

[@civwar054]

Don't forget about the great score by Bernard Hermann. That love theme blows me away. He scored Psycho as well. Classic is a word thrown around a lot. This is a true CLASSIC.

[@mrtveye6682]

Bernard Hermann is one of the greatest movie composers ever. He did a lot of work for Hitchcock, and all of his themes and scores supports the feel of the movies and the stories just perfectly. With Psycho, if I remember correctly, Hitchcock even admitted that the music was half of what made the movie "work" at all.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

Apart from the movies you named, Herrmann made the score for Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much and Vertigo, most notably. But Herrmann's work goes back before these 50s Hitchcock movies, he, of course, made Citizen Kane's music, but also Mankiewicz's The Ghost and Mrs. Muir And after his collab with Hitchcock he worked with Hitch most notable disciple, Brian De Palma, and ended his career with the extraordinary music of Scorsese's Taxi Driver. And people says about John Williams this and that...

[@cliffchristie5865]

Hitchcock's cameo comes near the beginning where he just misses getting on the bus as the doors close.

[@brandonflorida1092]

The very final shot of the movie is symbolic of something. The foreign agents thought he was Kaplan because of a timing coincidence. He was asking for a bellboy (or whatever) at the moment the bellboy was paging Kaplan and they thought he was answering the page. You also watched "Vertigo" by Hitchcock. The first movie James Bond was Sean Connery, starting in 1962. There are a handful of Hitchcock films, including this one, that are frequently reacted to on KZbin and every single one is a brilliant masterpiece. However, he has other brilliant masterpieces which have never, or almost never, been reacted to on KZbin . A few of the many are: "Suspicion" "Marnie" "Strangers on a Train" "The Lady Vanishes" "Rebecca" and many others. They will NEVER win a poll, just as 3 years ago "North by Northwest" wouldn't have won a poll, because not many people of the ages that answer the polls know them. It's a shame.

[@jamesbattista1466]

I’m shocked they didn’t react to the train/tunnel ending…it was the PERFECT ending…they must have been asleep or something. He seemed bored throughout the movie.

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

You are so right-there are some really great Hitchcock movies that a lot of younger people don’t know about.

[@Venejan]

The problem in the hotel scene at the start of the movie is that today, where everybody has a cellphone, nobody knows what "paging" means.

[@courtneywallace871]

Cary Grant is one of my favorite actors. His picture is next to the word “suave” in the dictionary.

[@robertjewell9727]

Alfred Hitchcock who missed the bus during the end of the title sequence. This movie did inspire the James Bond movies, the first which came out in 1962 starring Sean Connery who played Indie's father in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. My favorite Hitchcock film is NOTORIOUS (1946).

[@TheCkent100]

Whenever you are watching a Hitchcock film, you really need to pay close attention to the first few minutes. He puts in really important information at the very beginning. For "Rear Window", you see the thermometer, setting up the fact that the city is experiencing a heat wave and that windows are usually kept open. Anything else would be unusual given the high temperatures. But if you missed the thermometer shot, you would not know about the heatwave. In this movie, the two bad guys had George Kaplan paged. As the page is calling out the name of George Kaplan, Roger realizes that he has to send out his own message so he tries to get the attention of the page. The bag guys see him trying to get the page's attention and assume it is because he is answering to the calls for George Kaplan. So, always pay really close attention to the first few minutes of any Hitchcock film you watch. It will cut down on any confusion. And no, Marlon Brando was not in a James Bond movie. The first of the James Bond canon movies was "Dr. No" in 1962. The men who played Bond were Sean Connery, David Niven (in a 1967 non-canon spoof), George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. Marlon Brando was not among them. Finally, this is not really like a "lower budget James Bond movie". The entire set for Mount Rushmore had to be recreated in the soundstage since they could not get permission from the US Government to film on the actual monument. Van Dam's house was also a soundstage creation. Both of those items would put this film right up with the early Bond films for budget.

[@Chatwin78]

You guys are great together--thanks for the reaction. Something you may want to look for in future Hitchcock movies is that he makes a cameo appearance in many of his films. In North by Northwest he was just a random person missing a bus at about 2 minutes in.

[@jamesbattista1466]

Hitchcock appears in virtually EVERY movie he directed. How could these two not recognize AH? Youngsters I guess.

[@dennisgarcia3901]

The first James Bond was in 1954 the premiere on TV with the actor Barry Nelson. Sean Connery was in the first movie theater screening in Doctor No. 1962

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

That is right-the very first actor to play James Bond was an American.

[@DewJee2019]

First James Bond movie was Dr. No, released in 1962 and starred Sean Connery. The Austin Powers movies' Dr. Evil was based on Dr. No, the master criminal from this movie.

"I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw."--Hamlet. That's where the title comes from.

[@ammaleslie509]

North by Northwest is the direction they travel looking for Kaplan: NY to Chicago to Rapid City, South Dakota.

[@robyfiorili]

Eva Marie Saint is still alive, she is 98 or 99 y.o. She is today the oldest Academy Awards living winner

[@izzonj]

This is more a typical Hitchcock movie. A normal person unknowingly gets trapped into a dangerous situation. A staple of Hitchcock was having a protagonist that the audience immediately likes and then he wants them to think this could happen to them. It draws you right in!

[@richarddefortuna2252]

He was taken because just as he got up to telephone his Mother at the bar, an employee calls out, "Call for Mr. Kaplan!" The men see him get up and walk toward the telephone, and assume that he is Kaplan responding to the employee by taking the call.

[@kschneyer]

The title of this film comes from Hamlet: “I am but mad north-northwest. When the wind is in the south, I can tell a hawk from a hand-saw.”

[@slc2466]

Happy 100th birthday to NBN's lovely leading lady, Eva Marie Saint!

[@Catbytes]

Watch ALL the Hitchcock movies! Oh, and always watch for where Hitchcock himself appears in his movies.

[@tranya327]

Actually, the movie came out in 1959. And the future producers of the first James Bond film - Saltzman and Broccoli, were very careful to note not only THAT this film was wildly successful, but WHY it was successful: an action plot that took you all the way around the US, a handsome protagonist, who thinks on his feet, and is adept enough at surviving to escape even the most hopeless situation, some intriguing villains, a mystery, and a sexy mysterious 'bond girl.' Then they made sure to place those elements into the first James Bond film, 'Dr No,' in 1962, and the rest is history. So this is the film that spawned 25+ sequels. :)

[@slc2466]

And NBN was not low-budget in any way- it was one of MGM's big ones for 1959.

[@HuntingViolets]

Hitchcock appears about two minutes from the beginning of the movie. He is the man attempting to board the bus, but the doors shut in his face.

[@gerardcote8391]

Note the first Bond film was Dr No, and the second was From Russia with Love. That one was highly inspired by this film. North by Northwest is often considered the first Bond film, because a lot of the style and personality of James Bond was inspired by Cary Grant's portrayal in this film.

[@MrRondonmon]

He was 57 his mom 58, but of course he is supposed to be like 40ish, by having s younger mom that makes him seem younger in movie goers minds, if his mom was 77 he would auto be 57. Old movie tricks never die. My Fav. Hitch movie, watching this on big screen a few years back at the Alabama Theatre, this is a beautifully filmed movie. And I doubt this was low budget, I assumed that mean not many Bond blow ups, LOL.

[@bramford7e]

I'm impressed by how much you paid attention and was able to figure out most of the plot. It was a great reaction to this classic movie. Please react to more Hitchcock.

[@michaeldmcgee4499]

One of Cary Grant's last films was "Father Goose", a great comedy in which he plays a scruffy Paciific island bum at the beginning of WWII. It co-stars Leslie Caron and Trevor Howard. Really funny film!

[@rollomaughfling380]

Also, Cary Grant's last (and very funny, enjoyable ) film was 1996's *_Walk, Don't Run,_* a very cute film that played against type in portraying Grant not as a suave leading man, but as an older and out of touch mentor. I love that movie.

[@michaeldmcgee4499]

[@BeeWhistler]

I looked it up and you're right. The lady who played Mrs. Thornhill was only 8 years older than Cary Grant! Pretty funny.

[@TD-mg6cd]

At the hotel lunch, Roger wants to call his mother and calls the waiter over to request a telephone. At the same time, Van Dam's henchmen had George Kaplan paged, in order to see who responded. When Rogers hand went up and he called for the waiter, the henchmen thought that he was responding to their page for George Kaplan. Hence, that's George Kaplan.

[@Aggiebrettman]

My favorite Hitchcock, and one of my favorite movies all time. This one is basically the birth of the modern action-adventure movie.

[@rollomaughfling380]

Very debatable. (Carol Reed has entered the chat with a print of *_The Third Man,_* from 1949.)

[@PE4Doers]

That early scene where they shove the Bourbon down his gullet showed a lack of understanding of who he really was. An advertising Executive goes to a lot of social events with a lot of alcohol (which is why most are considered inconspicuous drunks), so they have a high tolerance for alcoholic drinks. So it makes sense he could do quite well driving with all that Bourbon in him.

[@George-kv6gm]

Great one, and so much fun watching again, but this time with you! I was too young to appreciate it the first time. Thanks for your reaction to a classic!

[@jackmessick2869]

The first James Bond was Sean Connery in "Dr. No" in 1962. Very few people understand where the title comes from (they fly from Chicago to Rapid City which is flying north, by Northwest Airlines.), so good on you for catching it. Hitchcock almost titled the film "The Man in Lincoln's Nose" but changed it during production. The actress who played Thornhill's mother was only about 8 years older.

[@DewJee2019]

At the beginning of the movie, Alfred Hitchcock is the bald, round man who just misses the bus.

[@rpg7287]

Hitchcock’s greatest movie is Psycho. But you have to react to, what I think is his 2nd greatest movie, Vertigo. It is absolutely fantastic. And it stars Jimmy Stewart, the star of Rear Window.

Bulletproof vests have been around since the 1890s. But they were rigid and uncomfortable until the invention of Kevlar, a flexible bulletproof fabric, in 1974.

Northwest was an airline that served a lot of the Midwest in the US. In 2010 it was bought by Delta Airlines.

Many people call this the First "Bond" Movie and Cary Grant was offered the Role!

[@RegenerativeHomes]

Ian Fleming based James Bond on Cary Grant's character in Hitchcocks Indiscreet. He also wanted Grant to play Bond but Grant didn't want to do another spy movie. Hitchcock is credited as creating the modern spy film.

[@irish66]

One of my favourite Hitchcock movies, along with Saboteur and Psycho. Marlon Brando as James Bond. Now there's a thought. ☺

[@norumbegastudios2806]

Not only did this movie influence the Bond movies, but Ian Fleming ince said that Cary Grant was the inspiration for his creation of the character in the books he wrote. I believe it was the movie notorious that he sighted specifically. It was for this reason that they offered Cart Grant the part in the first James Bond movie, though he turned it down.

[@rollomaughfling380]

Nonsense. Fleming wrote his first James Bond Book, _Casino Royale_ in 1952. _North by Northwest_ came out in 1959.

[@norumbegastudios2806]

@@rollomaughfling380 yes, but Notorious came out in 1946, and is generally considered the first spy movie; at least the first to be a major commercial success and made the secret agent popular. Inspired by this movie, and Cary Grant's character specifically, Ian Fleming decided to create the character of James Bond, who was introduced seven years later in the first novel. When Broccoli put the first film into production he preferred Cary Grant for the role, though it is true that Fleming wanted David Niven. Broccoli did take inspiration in filming from a number of Hitchcock movies that Grant had made, including Notorious, To Catch a Thief, and North by Northwest. However, it was still Notorious that was the original inspiration for Fleming to create a Secret Agent character.

[@MrSuperHappyPants]

Hopefully you'll find yourselves in the same rabbit hole I was in a few years back - where I just wasn't interested in watching anything that didn't star either Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant. Love you two! Game over from California.

[@Dej24601]

Cary Grant was mistaken for Kaplan by accident at the hotel by the criminals because he happened to raise his arm to call for a messenger person so he could notify his secretary, at the same moment another messenger was going through the lobby calling for Kaplan, which was part of the plan to keep the idea alive that Kaplan was in the hotel.

[@cwdkidman2266]

I just started watching this channel and loved seeing the wife respond to Cary Grant the way all women respond to him. He got his start as a comedic acrobat and tumbler in vaudeville, and he remained athletic all his life. Plus he had what professional comedians call "comedy in his bones." He could stand still with a serious look on his face and audiences would start giggling for no apparent reason. The thing is, guys didn't resent him his sex appeal. Guys wanted to BE Cary Grant, especially Burt Reynolds and Michael Caine. And his accent was middle American, meaning it could be American or English if need be. He once said that Hitchcock liked casting him because he "wants to be me." And added, "And I like being in Howard Hawks' movies because I want to be HIM. And he showed me how far I could stretch my Cary Grant persona In the late 1930s. Howard more or less invented Cary Grant, the guy people see onscreen." Grant was in 4 Hitchcock movies but he was in FIVE Howard Hawks films.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Funny you mention "low budget James Bond." Many consider this movie to be the first James Bond movie or the prototype for it. In the early 1960's when the Bond series was rolling around with their first film, Grant was the first person producers considered to play as the first James Bond because of his role as Roger Thornhill in Alfred Hitchcock's North By Northwest. He was asked but would only commit to one James Bond movie, they wanted the same actor for several movies, so Grant turned it down and so did the producers effectively. Plus, Cary Grant was about 55/56 when he made this movie and by the first release of the first Bond Movie he would have been 58, which is quite old to be chasing villains and such around the world, lots of stunt men would be employed to look like Cary Grant. Sean Connery, the first James Bond, was only 32 when the first movie, Dr. No, came out in 1962.

[@SnabbKassa]

Ah, youngsters who don't know the last shot is an innuendo. Too subtle for today.

Rope yes.

You characterized this as a low-budget James Bond movie, which might be true, but this is a good deal more realistic than the comic-book spy of the Bond movies. If you want a great Hitchcock film that no other reactors have watched, I recommend “The Lady Vanishes,” “Foreign Correspondent,” “Lifeboat,” or “The 39 Steps.”

First Jame Bond was Sean Connory, but Cary Grant was on the short list of actors to play James Bond.

The reason Vandamm's men mistake Thornhill for Kaplan is that they have a bellman paging Kaplan to see who replies. Thornhill just remembers he needs to call his secretary about his mother's whereabouts, and happens to get up while the bellman is calling out Kaplan's name. So the henchmen assume he's Kaplan.

Ever since the first railroad passenger cars had toilets, every conductor, as he makes his way through the train to collect tickets, knows to check each restroom for possible stowaways. Tactic works good in a movie, though.

I know someone who actually pulled it off. However, profanity was involved.

Cary Grant was 10 years younger than the woman playing his mom- Jessie Landis

When Eve starts to slide down the monument she really did hurt her arm. That was her own blood.

[@kennethalfonso3241]

I hope you continue watching other Hitchcock films. To Catch a Thief and Dial M for Murder are both great

[@TheDunadan01]

Yeah, James Bond except with a good story, good directing and good acting.
