The movie
Show notes
We're racing away from murder accusations and towards age-gap romance as we look at Alfred Hitchcock's 1959 classic North by Northwest ! Join in as we discuss the relationship between stars Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint, the iconic cropduster scene, the movie's frank sexuality, and its connection to a World War II British plot. Plus: Who would be the funniest president to be on Mount Rushmore? What happened to Roger Thornhill's (Grant's) previous two marriages? Does this movie make any sense whatsoever? And, most importantly, is Roger still wanted for murder when the movie ends? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!
