Product Description
Product Description
North By Northwest (Blu-Ray Book) Cary Grant teams with director Alfred Hitchcock for the fourth and final time in this superlative espionage caper judged one of the American Film Institute's Top-100 American Films and spruced up with a new digital transfer and remixed Dolby Digital Stereo. Grant 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.
Amazon.com
A strong candidate for the most sheerly entertaining and enjoyable movie ever made by a Hollywood studio (with Citizen Kane, Only Angels Have Wings and Trouble in Paradise running neck and neck). Positioned between the much heavier and more profoundly disturbing Vertigo (1958) and the stark horror of Psycho (1960), North by Northwest (1959) is Alfred Hitchcock at his most effervescent in a romantic comedy-thriller that also features one of the definitive Cary Grant performances. Which is not to say that this is just "Hitchcock Lite"; seminal Hitchcock critic Robin Wood (in his book Hitchcock's Films Revisited) makes an airtight case for this glossy MGM production as one of The Master's "unbroken series of masterpieces from Vertigo to Marnie." It's a classic Hitchcock Wrong Man scenario: Grant is Roger O. Thornhill (initials ROT), an advertising executive who is mistaken by enemy spies for a U.S. undercover agent named George Kaplan. Convinced these sinister fellows (James Mason as the boss, and Martin Landau as his henchman) are trying to kill him, Roger flees and meets a sexy Stranger on a Train (Eva Marie Saint), with whom he engages in one of the longest, most convolutedly choreographed kisses in screen history. And, of course, there are the famous set pieces: the stabbing at the United Nations, the crop-duster plane attack in the cornfield (where a pedestrian has no place to hide), and the cliffhanger finale atop the stone faces of Mount Rushmore. Plus a sparkling Ernest Lehman script and that pulse-quickening Bernard Herrmann score. What more could a moviegoer possibly desire?--Jim Emerson
Also on the Blu-ray disc
North by Northwest is a great-looking Blu-ray disc, with a sharpness and colors that seem like you're watching the film for the first time. New on the 50th anniversary edition are a one-hour documentary on Hitchcock's work "The Master's Touch: Hitchcock's Signature Style," and a shorter one (25 min.) specifically about the film, "North by Northwest: One for the Ages." It's packaged in one of Warner's Blu-ray books, with trivia, character profiles, and stills and vintage art. Older extras include screenwriter Ernest Lehman's commentary track, a 90-minute profile of star Cary Grant, the documentary from 2000 "Destination Hitchcock: The Making of North by Northwest" hosted by Eva Marie-Saint, a music-only audio track, and theatrical trailers. --David Horiuchi

NXNW is rightly acclaimed as a classic and most definitely still delivers as an engaging and fun relic of its time, abundant in 1959 elegance, style, droll wit, & class. In many ways this (and its Hitchcock/Cary Grant predecessor To Catch a Thief [Blu-ray ]) were truly the first James Bond movies, as becomes glaringly apparent after even casual comparison. Sean Connery's Bond was monumental, but it's just hard to imagine how the entire Bond series would have fared without having the suave, debonair Cary Grant there to blaze the trail as "The Cat" John Robbie in "TCAT" and of course as Roger Thornhill in "NXNW".
Now let's concede up front: you MUST disconnect your plausibility radar and just go along for the ride with NXNW and all its howling impossibilities. Let's not even dig into them too much EXCEPT TO suggest that if you're looking to bump off a rival spy, are you REALLY going to try to lure him onto a dusty Indiana highway and try to puree him with the propeller of a biplane? How does it happen that Thornhill (Grant) and the rival agents (James Mason, Martin Landau, Eva Marie Saint) all wind up on the 20th Century Limited after Thornhill goes on the lam from the UN? For that matter, how likely is it that Thornhill even gets OUT of the UN after getting framed for the murder there? --NEVER MIND! You simply have to surrender to the night-at-the-movies popcorn FUN of it, and enjoy the rollercoaster of thrills, chills, romance & spy intrigue Hitchcock serves up here. Sure, it's easy to chuckle at the stratospheric "suspension of disbelief" necessary to properly enjoy NXNW but really I think it's a deliberate part of the fun and not meant to stand up to serious scrutiny.
Cary Grant, in his fourth and final outing with Hitchcock delivers a knockout performance as the Madison Avenue adman on the run Roger Thornhill. James Mason shines here also as the oh-so-elegant (but deadly) "enemy agent" Phillip Van Damme, with outstanding support from his menacing secretary Leonard, played with beady-eyed malice by Martin Landau. Eva Marie Saint obviously owns the role of Eve Kendall, glamorous double-agent torn between her duty to maintain her cover and her growing love for Roger, but I personally still can't fully "buy" Eva as a "femme fatale" as depicted in NXNW. No complaints about her performance--she's excellent, and again, her name goes into immortality for this role, BUT I still think another actress would have been more credible as the "morally flexible" Eve Kendall than Eva Marie was able to project. By her appearance and temperament, I think Eva was much better matched to her "good girl" roles, as in " On the Waterfront (Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray ]", which played to her strengths much more than NXNW would allow. Hitch already had two better qualified actresses "in his company" already in Ingrid Bergman (" Notorious [Blu-ray ]") and obviously Grace Kelly ("To Catch a Thief"). STILL--I'm just offering my opinion here; Eva was great and more than nailed the part.
As other reviewers affirm, in many ways "NXNW" was the pinnacle of Hitchcock's career. All the stars converged for this one; OUTSTANDING cast, script, cinematography, locations and all those intangibles necessary to create a CLASSIC which no one can deliberately conjure into being. Let me pay special tribute here to that high-style Frank Lloyd Wright/"Mid-Century Modern" style chateau all the principals converge on prior to their "face-off" grand finale on Mt Rushmore! If such a house doesn't actually exist, well, it should! I'm willing to cast my vote for NXNW as Hitchcock's greatest film, but I respect anyone who prefers " Vertigo " or " Psycho (1960) " or maybe even another. No one's personal favorite is ever "wrong".
HOWEVER--here, in this luxuriant 50th Anniversary blu-ray, we're privileged to enjoy what may prove to be the BEST restoration & presentation of this classic movie EVER. The colors, picture and sound are all STUNNING and exceed the already high standard set by the previous DVD release of NXNW. I see this as an absolute "demo quality" blu-ray disc, a tour-de-force of what the format can deliver to re-ignite our appreciation of these old movies through OBSESSIVELY fastidious restoration and renewal. (Another knockout example of classic movie restoration that will scorch your eyeballs with its beauty: Pillow Talk (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy) .)
Blu ray EXTRAS abound here as well, including a fascinating documentary on the life & career of Cary Grant; obviously relevant and well worth viewer's time & interest. The NXNW documentary hosted by Eva Marie is the same one provided on the original DVD, but it is likewise a worthy and a great bonus feature to enjoy after seeing the movie again. My only gripe is that the sole commentary track, by writer Ernest Lehman, while certainly worthy of inclusion, isn't enough by itself. A film of the stature of NXNW deserves one or more commentary tracks by some historians or directors who can offer insight into the historical context of the Cold War, Hitchcock's intentions/techniques, NXNW's influence on its times and later films, etc. Stay tuned to see whether a 4K "Special Sixtieth Anniversary Edition" doesn't hit the Amazon pre-orders in 2019 to pick our pockets anew!
Until such a re-release appears on the horizon, THIS 50th Anniversary Edition certainly remains the ABSOLUTE "Gold Standard" for seeing and re-discovering the excellence and fun of NXNW. If you've never seen NXNW before, maybe watch a Netflix or Amazon download (or check out a DVD from your local library); established fans of NXNW however, MUST see this exquisite blu-ray reissue to be awed by just what the blu-ray format is capable of with a movie you THINK you've already fully experienced and appreciated.
Finally: in a world overrun with movie kitsch and "Gone With The Wind" Barbies, and other assorted junk, there are only TWO movie props I would like to have for myself: FIRST (and most essential) the gold phone in the lobby of the Plaza Hotel Cary uses to call up to George Kaplan's room. Second (and something I WOULD actually wear), how about one of the "red caps", the scarlet cabbie-style hats scurrying in herds in the Chicago train station where Cary & EMS disembark from the 20th Century. WHERE can I find either (or both) of those for my personal "NXNW" appreciation shrine?
Thornhill replies, "Not that I mind a slight case of abduction now and then, but I have tickets to the theater this evening. To a show I was looking forward to!" And that sets the pace for the whole movie. Politely sinister. Classy humor. Thornhill is played with panache and great comic touch by Cary Grant. Townsend is played with sly menace by James Mason. The lovely Eva Marie Saint doesn't even appear in the 1st half of the movie, then her Eve Kendall takes over the screen and Thornhill's heart - but it costs her.
"North by Northwest" has a couple of the most recognized and parodied scenes in films. The cropduster chasing Cary Grant in the middle of nowhere never loses its fear factor. And who can forget Roger Thornhill and Eve Kendall climbing down Mt. Rushmore?
I'm writing this review to let you know that the extras on the 50th Anniversary Edition, 2 DVD's, are simply excellent
North by Northwest (Two-Disc 50th Anniversary Edition) :
1. "Cary Grant: A Class Apart". First airing in 2004, this is an 87 minute episode of PBS's "American Masters" TV series. It is narrated by Helen Mirren and Jeremy Northam, with many movie clips and contributing commenters. Cary Grant was in 72 films, including 4 directed by Alfred Hitchcock. He ended his film career voluntarily, quitting while he was at the top. He passed away in 1986 of a stroke. Look at this list of interviewees for this special! I found this extra in-depth and interesting.
- Barbara Grant, his wife from 1981-1986
- Jeanine Basinger, film historian
- Roderick Mann, friend
- Nancy Nelson, author of "Evenings with Cary Grant"
- Betsy Drake, actor, his wife from 1949-1962 and an outspoken pistol!
- Elvis Mitchell, film critic for the "New York Times"
- Peter Bogdanovich, director (he knew Hitchcock and Grant personally, and he participates on the movie commentary track for the DVD Collector's Edition of "To Catch a Thief")
- Martin Landau, actor, who plays James Mason's secretary, Leonard, in "North by Northwest"
- James Harvey, film historian
- Ralph Bellamy, actor, from a 1988 interview (he's not in this film)
- Todd McCarthy, author "Howard Hawks: The Grey Fox of Hollywood"
- David Denby, film critic for "The New Yorker"
- Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., actor, from a 1988 interview
- Howard Hawks, director, from 1967 interview. He directed Grant in "His Girl Friday" (1940) and "Bringing Up Baby" (1938)
- Dina Merrill, actor
- Jill St. John, actor
- Sidney Sheldon, writer
- Ralph Laren, designer, friend
- Eva Marie Saint, actor
- Mel Shavelson, director, he directed Grant in "Houseboat" (1958)
- Deborah Kerr, actor, from 1988 interview
- Ernest Lehman, screenwriter for "North by Northwest"
- Alfred Hitchcock, director, from 1966 interview
- Stanley Donen, directed Grant in "Charade" (1963, with Audrey Hepburn)
- George Kennedy, actor, from 2003 interview
- Samantha Eggar, actor
- and, last but not least, Cary Grant, in that they read excerpts from a series of autobiographical essays that were published in 1963. Grant gave few interviews, but he did open up in these essays.
2. "The Master's Touch: Hitchcock's Signature Style". This is a 57 minute documentary from 2009. This was also fascinating to watch. It starts with Alfred himself saying, "It may be that I was born with the sense of drama"!
A little bit of everything is covered in this extra, from costumes to music, to Hitchcock's preference for cool blonde leading ladies. Most of the comments, however, and not unexpectedly, have to do with his direction. How he made the angles, light, composition, point of view and camera tell the story and paint the mood. An impressive list of directors talk about Hitchcock's genius:
- Francis Lawrence, director of "I Am Legend" and "Constantine"
- William Friedkin, director of "The Exorcist" and "The French Connection"
- Guillermo del Toro, director of "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Hellboy"
- John Carpenter, director of "Halloween" and "Escape From New York"
- Richard Loncraine, director of "Firewall"
- Martin Scorsese, director of "Goodfellas"
- Curtis Hanson, director of "L.A. Confidential" and "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle"
- Joe Carnahan, director of "Smokin' Aces"
3. "The Making of North by Northwest", hosted by Eva Marie Saint. Interesting stories are told by several people, including Pat Hitchcock, the director's daughter, and Ernest Lehman, writer for "North by Northwest". Lehman talks about the genesis of the plot, when Hitchcock tells him: "I've always wanted to do a chase across the faces of Mount Rushmore."
4. "North by Northwest: One for the Ages", a short. This looks like it is made up of unused material from extra #2, "The Master's Touch". Also interesting.

Good pace of the story, but corny and unrealistic scenery.
Much rather read the books on which the plot was based. Movies just seem to take up too much time vs lack of content you can obtain by reading or listening to good audio non fiction books.
Top reviews from other countries
This is a 2-DVD set. On the first DVD is the movie itself, presented in its original widescreen format. You can watch it three ways: as the movie, as the movie with commentary by screenwriter Ernest Lehman, or as the movie with no sound but the Bernard Herrmann score. The film runs 2 hours and 16 minutes, which is the original length according to the IMDb. The commentary by Lehman is informative, though he doesn't offer as many detailed insights about the art of screenwriting as one would like.
On the second DVD contains a mass of special features. There are two theatrical trailers, a standard one plus one narrated humorously by Hitchcock himself, and there is one TV advertisement for the film. There is a stills gallery which runs for a few minutes. There are two features on North by Northwest, totalling over an hour between them; of these two, the "Making of" feature, which takes you through the production of the picture in chronological order, is the more substantial, the other one being more or less a collection of fan appreciation clips from directors and Hitchcock family members who admire the film. There is a nearly hour-long feature on Hitchcock's cinematic style, which is informative and which has some reference to North by Northwest as well as to many of Hitchcock's other films. Finally, there an hour-and-a-half PBS special on the career and roles of Cary Grant, with lots of biographical information about Grant and numerous appreciations of his work by various people. It's quite good, but would have been better without one uncalled-for four-letter word used in an interview by one of Grant's former wives. (Presumably PBS bleeped the word when the special was originally aired.)
The print of the movie is very good. The colour is beautiful, the sound is excellent, and so on.
The movie itself, a suspense thriller along the line of Saboteur (itself one of Hitchcock's greatest films) is polished and highly entertaining, as good (albeit not as high-tech and splashy) as the 1960s James Bond films. The plot, characterization and dialogue are all excellent. Grant is at his best, showing both his comic and serious sides with equal facility; Mason is perfect as the smooth, cultivated, but subtly menacing villain; Eva Marie Saint is excellent as the emotionally torn woman working for -- whose side? (You'll have to watch the movie to find out.) Not only are the three leads great: there are several wonderful supporting characters, including Leo G. Carroll, Martin Landau, and Jessie Royce Landis. There are also smaller supporting bits by people one knows well: Edward Platt ("the Chief" from Get Smart) as a lawyer, Robert Shayne ("Inspector Henderson" from Superman) as a drinking buddy in a hotel lounge, Ken Lynch as a cop, etc.
The sets and photography (both indoor and location) are wonderful. The special effects are pretty good, as well, though to me the celebrated plane crash scene, though well-shot, is a lot less interesting than its reputation indicates, and the Mt. Rushmore scenes are of mixed quality, some looking very real and some very much giving away the fact that they were shot on a studio set (the rock is too shiny and smooth and toothbrush-scrubbed white, and the sense of being at a real height and in danger of falling is not as convincingly portrayed as in some other Hitchcock films). But overall, the film is a great visual pleasure -- as is so often the case with Hitchcock's films.
I purchased this product for only about $18 from Amazon.ca. Many single DVD-Rs of lesser films cost more than that, and they have no special features. There is nothing to fault in this product. Five stars.
Respecto a los extras, el disco incluye 2 reportajes con opiniones de Guillermo del Toro, Martin Scorsese y William Friedkin relacionados con el análisis de la técnica cinematográfica de Hitchcock en Con la muerte en los talones, y con la influencia del director británico en sus cinematografías respectivas. Además, Eva Marie Saint recuerda la realización de la película y su relación con Cary Grant y Hitchcock. Por último tenemos una hora y media de la vida de Cary Grant, con entrevistas a sus esposas, compañeros de reparto e imágenes de sus películas. Trailers, fotos y el audiocomentario del guionista completan la lista de extras.
Para resumir, esta edición en Blu-Ray bien merece un lugar en nuestra estantería por sus cualidades técnicas, la cantidad de extras y la posibilidad de volver a ver un clásico como nunca antes pudimos disfrutar.
