North by Northwest
Alfred Hitchcock / US, 1959 / 135 min.
The ultimate Hitchcock: a rollercoaster ride of tension, humour, technical feats and spectacular chase scenes. This ironic spy thriller became one of Hitchcock’s most famous films, mainly thanks to Cary Grant’s amazing acting. Dutch premiere of the 70mm restoration.
Advertising agent Roger O. Thornhill (Cary Grant) is mistaken for a secret agent slash assassin and becomes embroiled in a web of deadly intrigues. Suspected of murdering a United Nations diplomat Thornhill escapes with the help of a mysterious woman (Eva Marie Saint) and miraculously survives an attempt on his life.
