Oh my god – that hate comment was WILD and...weirdly poetic, lol. I think you guys should print it out and frame it ;) Thank you so much for watching and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s such a fun movie – in terms of clever writing, I think this one is my favorite by Hitchcock. Surprisingly funny too. And what’s not to love about Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint? They’re fantastic. Look at you guys picking up on the score and even the composer! I love how frenetic the main theme is. Reminds me of The Rite of Spring. I think there was something else I wanted to mention, but I don't remember what...it’s almost midnight and I’m about to turn into a pumpkin, so I’ll leave it there for now. Thanks again for watching! P.S. – ‘Henchmen via LinkedIn’ – I laughed quite a bit at that! Do you think they have to send in a cover letter? “Dear Mr. Vandamm, I am a professional henchman with five years of gooning experience and would be delighted to join your team at Crooks R Us...”

I think congrats are in order for Kevin here. I've watched NxNW with various friends and family who haven't seen it, maybe a half-dozen times. And I've seen at least that many reactors watch it on Youtube as well. And every one of them misses the bit at the club where the messenger is paging "Mr. Kaplan" as Roger Thornhill puts up his hand to *hail* the messenger. It's so key, and in typical Hitch fashion there's no handholding. If you miss that quick mishap (on which the entire plot of the movie turns!) you're going to spend a whole lot of the film trying to figure out how poor Roger got mixed up in all this in the first place. I do think that if Hitch had known how rapidly the notion of hotel bellhops paging and carrying messages would become an anachronism, he might've highlighted it more, perhaps. But anyway, great catch, enjoyed watching this again with y'all, and great pick, Clare! (Oh! Eva Marie Saint -- also immortalized in the amazing Lloyd Cole & The Commotions song "Rattlesnakes" -- is still with us and will celebrate her 101st birthday this Friday July 4th.)

‘Morning! I remember now what I wanted to mention – I really appreciated the comparisons you guys made between this and James Bond/Mission Impossible movies. I hadn’t thought about it before, but you’re right, there are a lot of ideas built out here that are picked up by those films later on. Great catch!

Thanks! That bit was subtle, but as soon as the goon said "there's Kaplan," it was instantly "OOH! MISTAKEN IDENTITY PLOT!" Such a great movie!

This has to be one of my favourite Hitchcock cameos with him racing for the bus only for the doors to close on him, lol. I love that this movie has everything; mystery, action, adventure, comedy, and romance. The whole mistaken identity plot is such a great one. I absolutely love the witty/flirty banter between Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. This movie made me want to visit Mt Rushmore so bad. Great reaction and great choice, Clare.

When I visited Mt. Rushmore, all the hiking trails were closed in the park. It was a long drive to see it from the cafeteria lot, take pictures, and leave. I learned to always check for maintenance reports before traveling.

I love this film (and honestly anything with Cary Grant!) so much. Also, I will pay cash money for a Watch This! "2 ants criticize the sun" t-shirt.

"Cary Grant's suit" listed as a character above - I see what you did there..... :) :) :) 1960 Oscars - 3 major nominations - not best picture :( Best Picture winner - Ben-Hur Nominations: Best Art Direction-Set Direction (won by Ben-Hur) Best Film Editing (won by Ben-Hur) Best Writing, Story and Screenplay (won by Pillow Talk)

A google search of YouTube includes a lot of good content. I will point out this one, an interview with Eva Marie Saint and Martin Landau on the 50th Anniversary of the movie in 2010. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwIZoD7r8H8&t=5s And the most fun thing I found - Eva Marie Saint turns 101 on Friday! Birthdate 7/4/1924!

I got to see a screening of this at Mount Rushmore -- apparently the first time it ever screened there, in 2007. It was incredible.

I don't know if anyone in the comments of your Buffy posts has mentioned it, but Martin Landau's daughter (or one of them) is Juliet Landau, who plays Drusilla in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

This was my first watch all the way through. It gets shown in holiday movie marathons a lot so it’s been on in the background with me seeing chunks here and there. I thought the Rushmore sequence was in Vertigo for awhile. The sequence has been in many Oscar montages. I like this better than Vertigo. Another good earlier Grant/Hitch colab is Suspicion the next film after Hitch won Best Picture with Rebecca. Cary Grant also has a rare 4th of July movie Howard’s of Virginia that usually pops up on TCM this week.

Michael Soukup

Great film, great reaction! Cary Grant is arguably the greatest movie star of all time so there are many, many titles you can add to your list. Grant and Hitchcock collaborations: Suspicion, Notorious (maybe my favorite), To Catch a Thief, and NBNW. Where does Eva Marie Saint fall on the list of Hitchcock blondes for everyone? Second only to Grace Kelly for me. It's too bad there weren't any additional collaborations. C'mon it's time for Rear Window!

I tried to buy Rear Window but they said they’d already seen it. Such a great film. It was a toss up to buy To Catch A Thief or Dial M for Murder, I agree no one compares to Grace Kelly.

I never knew this! That means she's the daughter of Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, who starred together in "Space: 1999." I loved the series as a kid, but now it's nearly unwatchable.
