2:11 That take was sublime. The use of architecture and landscaping in this movie is incredible, specially the spectacular house at the end.
And that house scene is even better cuz its filmed at night.
I love the 50's "modern" architecture and the colors.
That shot is absolutely mind blowing. Words cannot do it justice
When I first saw this as a child, I initially thought Townsend was gasping in horror at the photo
That was probably because you didn't see the knife stabbing him from the right edge of the screen. Widescreen movies used to be cropped on the left and right sides when they were shown on TV.
@@rabidfollower Yes - good point. I saw it on a 1980s video so it might've even been the dreaded "pan and scan"
SAME!!
@rabid follower Yeah, that can be a possibility. Glad those days are over. Widescreen is the best way to watch movies.

My local indie theater showed this movie recently, and it was so great seeing it in a packed theater. This scene is when things start spiraling out of control, and the energy of watching this unfold with a crowd was fantastic. Now, I can't imagine watching this movie at home by myself.
Hearing everyone laugh at the subtle jokes like the reveal of the ridiculous newspaper front page with the deranged photo, feeling the collective tension during moments like this, and the audience bursting into applause at Hitchcok's cameo was an excellent experience. Some movies are just made to be enjoyed with a crowd.
I saw it with 600 people, it was astonishing.
Nobody looked cooler in shark gray than Cary Grant. :)
This movie was an inspiration for the Bond movies
I still want that suit
@@MCO18 He wouldve made the best james bond
Indeed, the suit simply would not die
That photographer hit the jackpot, we later saw his pictures in the paper!
The aerial shot at 2:05 is just unreal. Hitch has been dead for 40 years and still taking kids to film school in 2021!! Top marks!
😎
Is that real or animated
@@gabegu5102 It's real, but the UN wouldn't let them film outside of the actual building -- it's a matte painting of the UN building. Carefully planned and calculated so it would look good still. Wouldn't really call it animated per se.
North by Northwest is #18 on the list of 200 essential films
By who?
@@randywhite3947 Rotten Tomatoes
It's #53 on Sight&Sound's last 10-yearly global poll of film critics (2012)
Cary Grant should not have pulled the knife out of the man, a big no no......
No security back then like today...
02:05 that view is awesome! Thornhill is just another "figure" in the game and this view is showing this to the audience. And somehow he also nearly gets lost in the view. Very impressive.
looks like an oil painting.
@@themoreyouknowfools4974 It is.
Scarier than most horror movies today
I loved this scene ! North By Northwest is a classic movie I have it on DVD & Blu Ray :) Thanks for posting !!
Phil Ober, the stabbing victim, was the real life husband of Vivian Vance.
I was Phillip and Jane Obers banker back in the 1970s and spend time with them at their home in Puerto Vallarta and had a great dinner with their neighbors Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor and yes he was married to Vivian Vance also played Dory Sherri on the I love Lucy shows Hollywood episodes
That press photographer trying to reload that old Graflex camera in the background, and change the flashbulb. nice.
Ive seen this movie twice as a kid and literally ascended seeing the shot at 2:12 just now, its crazy how ive never realized how insane it was til just now
Unrealistic! If someone gets stabbed before you, you avoid the knife!
Pulling out the knife accelerated hemorrhaging and left fingerprints. Both things an investigator would have known in 1959. The scene looks comical for such a highly regarded film.
As great a movie as ever made..no filler scenes..excellent casting..Cary and Eva are believable as lovers.
Cary never winning an Oscar in his career is a glaring omission by the academy.
I had the good fortune of seeing North by Northwest for the first time in a theatre in the 80's before ever seeing it on television.
Really wish more classics would be shown in theatres here in Ottawa instead of 5 of 16 screens devoted to the same boring Avengers etc!
Hitchcock never won one either
Grant was only nominated twice for an Academy Award and I don't think those are his 2 best performances. I think his best performances are Arsenic and Old Lace and North by Northwest, neither of which he was nominated for.
I like how the guys in the back at 1:48 were physically able to see the knife being thrown at that moment but SOMEHOW didn’t notice it flying behind the photographer. They could have helped prevent this conflict, lol.
You would be surprised by people’s lack of attention and how memory can be affected by other people’s reaction.
...no one saw the assassin, no security anywhere
what UN is this?
This takes place in the 1950's. There was no security then like we have today. People could walk into any public building anywhere. There were no pat down searches to get on airplanes. It was a different world.
I saw the assassin: 0:14. Does he look like an assassin to you? ???
Code Optimization Ware You mean at 0:22
@Pale Rider:
Well the pan begins @ 0:14, a sort of visual subtlety that the current crop in Hollywood don't know how to put into movies anymore. As the pan begins @ 0:14 and then sweeps across the room, viewers paying attention can see that no one, even @ 0:22, per se looks like an assassin (whatever an assassin is supposed to look like?), unless they all in that room do, see.
@@lemorab1 Agreed but come on, no assassin no matter how good, is going to take such a ridiculous chance in a high profile place like that with so many people around.
The greatest Hitchcock movie ever.
Yes
The timing of his gasp as he is stabbed is brilliant because at first the audience thinks he’s gasping at the sight of the photo, as if recognizing Vandamm. Then as he slowly falls we see the knife and realize the real reason why he gasped.
This is the Hitchcock movie above all other Hitchcock movies.
absolutely
Nope Vertigo is far superior to this
Vertigo>>>>
Much better than vertigo, which I find a bit boring in places
Rebecca is his best film
love how they set up the camera guy in the back
He should of not grabbed that
I know, right? That's Double Jeopardy Thriller 101! Gene Wilder does the same thing in "Hanky Panky"
If he doesn’t grab that, Hitchcock has no film.
Maybe he thought he could save him
It was a plot contrivance.
Cleverly done scene for the times. The last shot cut before Lester's reaction has the thrown knife edited in for a frame or two. Meanwhile he was standing there the whole time with the fake knife "attached" to his back. Then Grant pulls out the collapsible trick knife on cue in this continuous/no cut scene. One check, slight cut of the bad guy running away, otherwise an unaffected shot.
If he'd just held Townsend without touching the knife as everyone in the room realised what had happened, the whole damn story wouldn't have taken place. Police extract the knife, check for fingerprints, Thornhill's clear. As much as i love Hitchcock, he does sometimes rely on an irrational decision or coincidence to propel a story along
this movie is so cozy
The guy playing Townsend, Philip Ober, was married to Vivian Vance (Ethel from I Love Lucy) in real life.
The more you know
Yes, married and was allegedly abusive toward Vivian
Thumbs down? You got stabbed?
Bernard Herrmann music is fabulous.
Cary Grant was just excellent in this film, i mean he was the perfect Hitchcock actor.
Agreed...
How the bad guys were occupying Mr. Townsend's house is never explained in the plot, or who the mystery woman was who pretended to be Mrs. Townsend when Cary brings the police to the house the next day. Hitchcock never wasted time on extraneous information like this, since it really makes no difference - the point is to get the action moving fast, to get Cary on the run.
The woman is Vandamm's sister, he asks Leonard to thank her for impersonating Mrs Townsend.
As soon as that photo was shown to Mr. Townsend, why was he killed? If he wasn't what information would have Mr. Townsend have given to Mr. Thornhill?
I also find it fascinating that police didnt check the identity of the lady in townsend’s house or checked with townsend himself..but of course it is a movie
1:38 pog
NORTH BY NORTHWEST CARY GRANT WANTED FOR A MURDER HE DIDN T COMMIT
meet the spy
Imagine if OJ Simpson threw that knife. Oh wait
02:05 SOUNDTRACK
Red Grant the bad guy in From Russia With Love also put on gloves just before he killed somebody, I wonder if they deliberately copied that like they borrowed the crop duster scene.
North By Northwest Cary Grant wanted for a murder he did n t commit
Can relate ✡️
01:36 Do You Know This Man
01:57 Call The Police
00:48 What Can I Do For You
this was back when America didn't smoke weed
1:48
Excuse me! Is that the actress on the left who plays Lucia Dos Santos from The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima?
1:40
How'd that knife get there?!
if u watch closely, Mr Kaplan's gets knived
In between when Roger says "...this man?" and Lester gasps, you hear a "thwick!" and see something shiny fly into the frame on the right side of the screen. It's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, but the knife thrower stabs Lester in the back right when he looks at the photo.
I would have not even gone after Van Dam after this. This is TERRIBLE. Van Dam totally destroyed Thronhill, Grant, totally.
Personally....after seeing Van Dam's top LT, Leonard, get him drunk and put him behind the wheel.....I would take great pleasure in taking out Leonard. It would not have stopped Van Dam, to be certain. But that alone would have emboldened me to do so. Leonard did a terribly evil thing, with his bourbon.....I would be enraged. In that art gallery....to see him again. That was f-ed up. Grant could have stood up in public, pointed out Van Dam, and started HURLING verbal insults his way. Exposing and damaging him......but he did not. That is what I would have done....even with Van Dam;s security goons standing AGAIN at the exit points. I would have embarassed him, started throwing felony accusations right at Van Dam, destroying his reputation.
01:15 My Wife Has Been Dead For Many Years
What a corny setup. The colours, costumes and set are wonderful -- but totally unbelievable and corny setup.
It wasn’t meant to make sense. It was meant to entertain!
This is a great movie. I've always loved it and Hitchcock is a master. But the Cary Grant character has to be one of the dumbest idiots on the planet...."Yeah, let me just touch this knife and get my fingerprints all over it, then stand up with it in my hand so I can frame myself for murder in front of a crowd of people. And then I'll say...'I had nothing to do with this!'"
I mean...really??? 🙄😂😂
Not to mention that pulling out the knife ruined any chance for the victim's survival.
Why was a matte painting used at 2:09 ? Surely they could have just put the camera on a crane, or if that was out of the budget, make a model.
Because it's illegal to film the UN building since some movie in the 30s(iirc) did it and the UN didn't like that. The only movie that was allowed again was The Interpreter in 2005. Some scenes in North by Northwest were actually filmed with a hidden camera in a suitcase.
@@portadordenanismo It could not have been the 1930's because the UN was founded in 1945.
Looks way cooler anyway.
They weren't allowed on the actual UN property to film. This is all sets.
@@earnestblofeld7905 S.P.E.C.T.R.E. approves of this answer.
GOTTA 💙 CLASSICS..but today's audiences are tad less naive. A "grabbing knife handle" act would = laughter; by "less naive" I DON'T mean intelligent but more "worldly" may be better phrase. My Father n' I debate end of Casablanca frequently, he of course finds it perfect, I point out Nazi Villian shot n' killed then 10min later man who shot him is walkin with his "New BFF" laughing..it's comical. I still like Casablanca..but it understandably lacks the realism of what such events encure. ..and "YES" I know ridiculous UNrealistic cop shows like CSI, NCIS and Criminal Minds are more popular than ever..but we also have shows like The Wire which depict as close as one can want can get from a screen.
TAKE:
Take ANY Hollywood War
Film made before Saving Private Ryan ..and tho' they may have amazing acting/directlng: Longest Day, Dirty Dozen, etc.. they fail in comparison to just the opening Invasion of Normandy in 'Ryan'.... Same thing applies here.
A tad less naïve? Adult viewers in 1959 had lived through World War II. They were more 'worldly' than most people watching this film today.
The only excuse I can give the scene is that 1959 viewers hadn't been saturated with forensic investigations and surgical documentaries, so were less likely to spot the ridiculousness of encouraging hemorrhaging and contaminating fingerprint evidence.
Get back he doesn’t have a mask he must have Covid run, for your life…..
Really? This fake is supposed to be an all time classic? I saw ~15 of Hitchcock's movies and somehow missed this one. Welp, last place indeed.
