About this movie

Cary Grant stars as an innocent man mistaken for a spy in one of director Alfred Hitchcock's greatest thrillers. While leaving New York's Plaza Hotel, advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Grant) has the misfortune of standing just as the name "George Kaplan" is paged--starting a lethal case of mistaken identity and a nonstop game of cat and mouse as he is pursued across North America by espionage agents trying to kill him--and by police who suspect him of murder.

Ratings and reviews

One of my all time favourite movies. Cary Grant is fantastic in the lead role, with some truly memorable lines. Hitchcock brilliantly paces The movie along with some of cinemas most iconic set pieces including that crop dusting scene, the fight over mount Rushmore and a wonderful musical score.

What can one say but a masterpiece of movie making and acting 👏

CARY GRANT IS BRILLIANT, AS USUAL
