Hitchcock not only redefined horror and gave
birth to thriller, but also managed to revamp the action genre and he did that
by one of his most famous flicks, „North by Northwest”. Back in the day, some
of the sequences and special effects must have been a revelation to the cinema
audience, but they are now almost completely non persuasive.
The basic triangular story
(love-conspiracy-adventure) is something we already saw in that era, as well as
the trademark confused charm acting by Cary Grant.
„North by Northwest” was a great movie
in its time, but had been since then overran by its successors.
