Alfred Hitchcock’s NORTH BY NORTHWEST Returns to Cinemas Nationwide Aprl 2nd & 5th

 

Alfred Hitchcock‘s often-imitated but never-duplicated thrill ride NORTH BY NORTHWEST — the granddaddy of all non-stop action movies — is returning to theaters around the country for two days only on Sunday, April 2, and Wednesday, April 5, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. (local time) each day. Tickets are available now at the Fathom Events website.

 

Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason and Martin Landau give fast and furious chase across the country, from the skyscrapers of Manhattan to the dizzying peaks of Mount Rushmore, set to the music of Bernard Herrmann, vibrant VistaVision cinematography — and, in this special presentation, new commentary from TCM’s Ben Mankiewicz both before and after the film.

 The trailer for this in-cinema event is at

Roger O. Thornhill (Cary Grant) gets mistaken for a murderous spy and embarks a suspense-filled adventure in Alfred Hitchcock’s whirlwind classic North by Northwest, returning to the big screen for two days this April as part of the yearlong TCM Big Screen Classics series.

With stunning VistaVision cinematography and a remarkable score by Bernard Hermann, North by Northwest is one of those rare films that expertly encapsulates all the favorite plot devices and themes that have marked a film director’s entire career.  A star-studded cast includes Eva Marie Saint as Thornhill’s not-so-unwilling accomplice Eve Kendall, James Mason as the nefarious Phillip Vandamm, Martin Landau as Vandamm’s henchman Leonard, and Jessie Royce Landis as Thornhill’s exasperated mother (though she was just eight years older than Grant).  Audiences will also enjoy specially produced commentary by Turner Classic Movies (TCM) host Ben Mankiewicz before and after the feature.
