Episode #440

North By Northwest

(1959)

You gentlemen aren’t REALLY trying to kill my son, are you…?

Might be Ira’s favorite Hitchcock. It’s the prototypical spy film, predates even James Bond, except that this spy is actually just a regular dude. Handsome Cary Grant, of course, but he’s pulled into an international conspiracy entirely by mistake. Chock full of some of the most iconic sequences ever put to film. What a time ’59 must have been! We’re (again) watching…North By Northwest!
