I envy the people who haven't seen this film yet. To watch it for the first time without having any idea what-so-ever what is about to unfold is an absolute cinematic treat
Cary Grant is probably the only actor who could look at home in a Brooks Brothers suit on a country road in the middle of nowhere. Hitchcock was lucky to have him.
Iconic scene from an iconic film ! Thanks for uploading for us to enjoy. Supposed to be a cornfield in rural Illinois but the scene was actually filmed in the southern part of California's Central Valley, near Bakersfield.
Hard to believe Cary Grant was around 55 when this was filmed. I mean sure, by today's standards 55 doesn't look that old anymore, but back then it was pretty impressive to still look that youthful.
@@nikosvault yep, somehow the world was just more human back then. i think our digital society is slowly destroying our humanity. AI wont need to take over ie skynet terminator style, instead we humans are all becoming the robots and now interact with screens more than real people. im truly glad my time on the planet is nearly up. i dont want to be around in 20 years. what a hell hole its going to be.
It would probably be on the list of the most memorable scene in any movie, right behind the final scene in Casablanca and "Scarlet, I don't give a damn." The scene was filmed on a rural road in California, Garces Highway. I would be curious if there is a plaque or permanent marker out there. If so, there is no mention of it on the Net, but it seems deserving as a great moment in cinematic history.

A thrilling sequence that makes no sense. Actually neither does a lot of the movie, but it still thrilling. Rather like a James Bond movie before the Bond movies came out.
Grant was asked by the producers of Dr No if he'd be interested in starring as James Bond. He turned them down. But it's obvious they used Hitchcock's North by Northwest as a template for the series. As you've guessed, this is for all intent and purposes the first James Bond film.
In reality I’m guessing route 41 through Indiana is not nearly this flat and desolate. Always liked that sign on the side of the road that points to the road where the guy’s driver drops him off. So barren and yet in its own way kind of beautiful. All that wide open space.
men (plural) or man? I'm not gay either, but you don't have to be gay to appreciate the class and elegance of Cary Grant. No one carried themselves as well as Grant He was (and) is the ultimate
Vandamm must have been out of his mind. Using a crop duster to kill someone. What a waste of money. All he had to do was send someone in a car with gun which would be 100% successful! Another movie which shows all villains are fools (or, for that matter, Germans in War movies). Villains are much smarter in reality. Arun Joglekar India
Yeah. Ernest Lehman says in his commentary to the film that the idea was to make Thornhill's death look like an accident, but somehow the shooting got added to the scene and it doesn't make sense.

Time soon caught up with him though. Look at Cary in Walk Don't Run made in 1966. He looked older than 62 in that. I think it was his last movie.
CoolDL 55 wow
55? He looked older than his age then. More like 65
Back in a time when smoking and drinking was so common.
it dont looks old
How to use pace, space (in dialogue) and landscape to create a growing sense of unease.A master at work.
Amazing film....just classic....Hitchcock at his best.

35 years old here, so this move is older than me, great movie to watch
a lot of things are older than you.

Brilliant scene from From Russia With Love with Cary Grant as James Bond.

Now its obvious where James Bond stole his entire swag from. Cary Grant in this movie. 🤦♀️
Eh not so much Roger in the movie had more of a temper than Connery did
James Bond's "swag" in the Ian Fleming novels predates this movie.

I'm really not gay, but that men looked fantastic!

Imo no male actor then or since CG aged better. The lady that plays his mom here is so funny too.
The bus driver closes the door without waiting to see if Cary Grant wants to get aboard.
Well if Cary had gotten on the bus there would have been no scene Nick
Location this road is in california not indiana

Are we positive it was Van Dam who ordered the cropduster?
Love Cary Grant but he aged a lot between this movie made in 1959 to Charade in 1963. He aged 15 years in 4 years, in my view.
Lots of drinks and lots of drugs.
Time, it seems, catches up with us all
He looked fantastic in Charade!!! My favorite movie.
you'd age too with all those lady fans wanting more than just your autograph from you. i know i would
