North by Northwest (DVD)

Cary Grant teams with director Alfred Hitchcock for the fourth and final time in this benchmark espionage journey judged one of the American Film Institutes Top-100 American Films. Grant plays a Madison Avenue advertising executive who becomes mistaken for a government agent by a team of spies led by James Mason. He unwillingly becomes involved in a series of misadventures and is pursued across the States by both the spies and the government whilst being helped by a beautiful secret agent (Eva Marie Saint). With new digital transfer and Dolby digital sound, this now has everything possible for a great movie: outstanding acting, stunning cinematography, fantastic stunts (the air-duster scene and the Mount Rushmore finale), a brilliant score by Bernard Herrmann and the perfect mixture of action, humour and a dash of romance.
