Perhaps the archetypal example of Alfred Hitchcock’s favoured ‘wrong man’ narrative, North by Northwest combines irresistible 50s Hollywood glamour with unforgettable espionage movie set pieces. A never better Cary Grant is a mistakenly identified fugitive on the run, being chased across the United States on the roads, rails and even by a wayward crop duster, all in pursuit of the truth behind his inexplicable predicament. A chance encounter with a mysterious woman (Eva Marie Saint) in New York’s Grand Central Station is the platform for one of the most charming and alluring train ‘meet cutes’ in cinema history.
