North By Northwest-1959



North By Northwest is a thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Recently we have been watching this film and observing as part of our media coursework.
North By Northwest is a simple film about mistaken identity with innocent advertising man Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) is mistaken for someone who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and is follwed and hunted across the USA for things that he did not do and being huted by people who are after the completely wrong person. This is one of Hicthcocks signature MacGuffin. Thornhill is a Madison advertising executive and is mistaken for a Mr Kaplan and when the gang find Mr Kaplan/Thornhill he is kidnaped and is then taken to the house of leader Lester Townsend.
