Movie: “North by Northwest”

This 1959 Alfred Hitchcock film is a classic and a true testament to the thriller and suspense genres. New York City ad executive Roger O.

Hitchcock uses clever camera angles and an intense soundtrack to build suspense in a way that is no longer present in most films. This is a must watch for all film fanatics. – Richard N. Clark IV
