The only things I knew about this movie was it was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and that there was a famous scene in it where Cary Grant is running through a corn field being chased by a plane. The only other Hitchcock move I have seen was 'Psycho' (yes, the original). So I was pleasantly surprised by the story. I guess I have always had this impression (not sure why) that his movies were creepy or something like that. I guess (now having seen 2 of them) they are more suspenseful. (Duh...I have a feeling I am the only one who didn't know that.)
As far as I am concerned, it had everything a good movie needs: a handsome leading man, a beautiful leading lady, romance, action and good dialogue. So, in my humble opinion, a home run.
One word to describe North by Northwest: Surprising.
