LANDING SPOT FRIDAY MOVIE: NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959)
North by Northwest is a 1959 American thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, and James Mason. The screenplay was by Ernest Lehman, who wanted to write "the Hitchcock picture to end all Hitchcock pictures".
North by Northwest is a tale of mistaken identity, with an innocent man pursued across the United States by agents of a mysterious organization trying to prevent him from blocking their plan to smuggle out microfilm which contains government secrets.
In 1958, two thugs in a New York City hotel bar hear a waiter calling the name of George Kaplan, whom they are looking for. When advertising executive Roger Thornhill summons the same waiter, he is mistaken for Kaplan, kidnapped, brought to the Long Island estate of Lester Townsend, and interrogated by spy Phillip Vandamm. The spy disregards Thornhill's protestations of innocence and arranges his death in a staged drunken driving accident. Thornhill survives to be arrested for driving under the influence and taken to the Glen Cove police station. Thornhill fails to convince his mother and the police of what happened. Police take him back to Townsend's home, where a woman says he showed up drunk at her dinner party. She also claims that Townsend is a United Nations diplomat.
