The Movie: North by Northwest (1959)
What Is It?: In
the midst of his darkest run of movies (Vertigo
through Marnie), Hitch has a lot of
fun by running Cary Grant through a mistaken-identity gauntlet of kidnapping,
drunk driving, cornfield stalking, and Mt. Rushmore climbing.
Why Today?: On
this day in 1904, Cary Grant is
born.
