North By Northwest (1959, color, 135 mins)
This Saturday, 24th Oct at 6.00 p.m. at the Ravindra Bhawan film club we are screening Alfred Hitchcock’s North By Northwest (1959, color, 135 mins), as a tribute to actress Eva Marie Saint, who passed away recently.
One of Hitchcock’s all-time great films, this timeless classic brings together Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint, along with a director at the very peak of his powers. Blending suspense, humour, thrills and romance, the film has all the ingredients of an evergreen entertainer. Its unforgettable imagery, from the iconic crop-duster sequence to the dramatic climax at Mount Rushmore, has become an integral part of cinematic lore. Cary Grant stars as an advertising executive who is mistaken for a spy and finds himself caught in a perilous chase across the country.
