Wow! I just finished watching North by Northwest. What a movie. I guess this is what Big Stupid Tommy would call "auteur". Hitchcock was a freaking genius. The amazing thing is that after this one he went on to make a black and white movie. Today, and probably then, people would think you were crazy for wanting to make a black and white movie.
The funny thing is that he was contracted by MGM to make another film. While writing a script, the script realized that he couldn't pull it off. Hitchcock then decided that they should make a different film. He never actually came out and told MGM that he wasn't making The Wreck of The Mary Deare anymore. He just gave them a pitch for North by Northwest. MGM actually thought that they were getting two movies for the price of one. Even through filming they were unaware that it wasn't a film about a movie at sea.
I can see many things that other movies had taken from North by Northwest. If you like this movie, you should also see Double Take
