Four Stars: ˜˜˜˜Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 classic thriller is a personal favorite of mine. Full of that signature dry humor, the master of suspense skillfully reveals layer after layer of duplicity as the plot unfolds. One of his best actors, Cary Grant, is accidentally mistaken for a secret agent and chased around the country by various organizations—all trying to kill him. Of course, things only become more complicated when he bumps into the femme fatale. This is old school espionage storytelling at its finest.
