WHAT IT'S ABOUT:By chance, martini-swilling adman Roger Thornhill (Grant) is mistaken for a top spy, and set up for murder. He then finds himself in the unfamiliar position of fugitive, criss-crossing the country in search of the real culprit, his only chance of survival. Along the way, he meet the beautiful but mysterious Eve Kendall (Marie-Saint), who wants to help him. But is she who or what she seems? WHY I LOVE IT:Fifty years after release, "Northwest" provides gripping, colorful entertainment for the whole family, full of the Master's trademark twists and turns. Only Cary could undertake such a rugged and dangerous journey and keep looking marvelous with no change of clothes. Eva Marie-Saint is appropriately enigmatic and alluring as the icy blonde who may or may not be in his corner. But it's James Mason's treacherous turn as the cold-blooded enemy agent that stays etched in your memory. |
