    Delightful chase comedy-thriller with a touch of sex, a kind of compendium of its director's best work, with memories of The 39 Steps, Saboteur and Foreign Correspondent among others.

    Hitchcocks Best

    I hadn't seen this all the way through, only in bits. A great film. And a huge Cary Grant fan. Went on a bit longer than I thought, but not complaining!

    North by North West
