Review:
Yet another reason why [Artist77324] is considered "The Master of Suspense"! This taut thriller stars [Artist143734] as Roger Thornhill, a New York ad executive who is suddenly kidnapped from a restaurant. His captors seem convinced that he's a Government spy but of course it's a mistaken identity thing. The more Thornhill starts investigating the Spy, the deeper he gets wound into the mess and the more convinced the bad guys become that he really is who they thought. It's just so well written and tightly wound that it makes for one hell of a great film. This even has some extremely memorable and spectacular chase scenes (featuring a crop duster and Mount Rushmore) and it's pretty much non-stop excitement from beginning to end. Who can argue with that? If you haven't seen this film then you absolutely must, one of Hitchcock's best and undoubtedly a classic that everyone should enjoy!
Availability: On DVD and Blu-Ray
