North by Northwest (1959 Alfred Hitchcock)

Last seen here and here.

Love the music.

William Goldman writes in 'Adventures in the Screen Trade' about how much he admires Ernest Lehman's ending, in which the entire plot - from the moment Landau starts stepping on Grant's fingers - is resolved in 43 seconds. "That's not very sporting, using real bullets."

No one walks across a room like Grant, but his act trying to drive the car drunkenly is fabulous.

Film could be called Planes, Trains, Buses and Automobiles.

Makes me think of The Good the Bad and the Ugly...
