North By Northwest (1959)


I have watched the film 'North by Northwest' this film was very enjoyable and exciting. The film is about a ‘innocent’ New York advertising executive is mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies, and is pursued across the country while he looks for a way to survive. 
'North by Northwest' was directed by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock, and written by Ernest Lehman. The main stars of the film are Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, and James Manson. 
This is an archetypal thriller because it has fast past frequent      action which is needed when making a thriller. The most entertaining part of 'North by Northwest' is the plane scene.   This scene is about the main character thinking he is       meeting up with the government agent he has been        mistaken for, but it is actually the spies who try to hit him         with a plan but end up failing and crashing the plane into a  truck.  
Alfred also implements a red herring which is the lady who he meets on the train, this because when we are first introduced to her you feel that she is going to be able to help the main character, but then we find out she is actually working for the spies, later on in the film we realize she is actually a undercover agent for the government and is a good person.
