Description

Cary Grant teams with director Alfred Hitchcock for the fourth and final time in this superlative espionage caper, spruced up with a new digital transfer and remixed Dolby Digital Stereo. He plays a Manhattan advertising executive plunged into a realm of spy (James Mason) and counterspy (Eva Marie Saint) and variously abducted, framed for murder, chased and in another signature set piece, crop-dusted. He also holds on for dear life from the facial features of the Presidents on Mount Rushmore (backlot sets were used). But don't expect the Master of Suspense to leave star or audience hanging.

Cast

Eva Marie Saint, Martin Landau

Quotes

Eve Kendall: What happened with your first two marriages? Roger Thornhill: My wives divorced me. Eve Kendall: Why? Roger Thornhill: They said I led a dull life Roger Thornhill: Now you listen to me, I'm an advertising man, not a red herring. I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself "slightly" killed. Man at Prairie Crossing: That's funny, that plane's dustin' crops where there ain't no crops.
