Out this week on DVD is the splendid 50th anniversary edition of Alfred Hitchock's 1959 masterpiece of suspense, North By Northwest. This is pure Hitchcock -- the innocent man (suave, terrific Cary Grant) mistakenly swept up in a nefarious spy plot.; the cool blonde (this time played by the divine Eva Marie Saint)l; and the fiendish bad guy (James Mason and his devoted henchman played by Martin Landau). It all culminates in a breathtaking chase literally across Mount Rushmore. This state of the art DVD transfer is fabulous and on this two-disc set are many new documentaries on the making of the film and a marvelous profile on Cary Grant. It just doesn't get more fun!
