North By Northwest 50th Anniversary DVD!
By Dennis Dermody
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!
