We often fall in love with a movie because of just a scene or two rather than the movie itself as a whole. Well, this scene is one of my favorite scenes of all time, including all the movies I've watched. It's actually the other actor, Malcolm Atterbury, that impresses me more than the great Cary Grant in this scene. Thank you.
What I've always liked about this scene is it is deceptive from the start. One may think "How can anything unusual happen here in the middle of nowhere?" Enter the crop duster.
Actually, Malcolm Atterbury is perhaps best known for his uncredited role in this Alfred Hitchcock movie, as the rural man who points to the distant plane (which shortly thereafter begins attacking Cary Grant's character in the movie) "That plane's dustin' crops where there ain't no crops!" He also had roles in movies such as The Birds, I Was a Teenage Werewolf, Crime of Passion, Blue Denim, Wild River, Advise and Consent, and Hawaii, his last film being Emperor of the North Pole released in 1973.... Thank you.
jimmy stewart wanted this role,hitchcock didnt want him.he waited for stewart to start a movie and he got grant to do it while stewart was committed for the film he was working on.thus giving hitchcock an excuse for picking grant.
"Can't say it is cuz it ain't." Great dialogue in this movie.
All that waiting and no Iphone to pretend to stare at.
"Sidewalk Scene" in the middle of 1950's bald-ass prairie lol.

The silence in this scene is the best score.
It's amazing how Hitchcock builds up the anticipation with this scene. Definitely, his trademark.
This is such a great scene that people fail to realize it makes absolutely no sense at all.

Cary Grant is one of the greatest movie actors ever

"That's funny."
Arguably the greatest thriller scenes in movie history
One of my favorite scenes from an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
One of the greatest hitch-hiker scenes without putting up your thumb for a lift in movie history..
Wonderful bit of subtle foreshadowing when the truck covers Thornhill in dust as it passes. It's the little things that make a movie a masterpiece.
Amazing scene. Love it. What a master Hitchcock was!
Hell, Hitchcock was such a genius, that even he outdid himself! Oh my! :D
Funny, can see these days only Clooney trying to imitate Cary with his looks n suit..
Epic, very special mood to me!
