Following a case of mistaken identity, Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) finds himself on the run from very bad men!

Boy did Alfred Hitchcock have guilt issues! So many of his plots center on a protagonist being pursued for a crime they did not commit. The Man Who Knew Too Much (both versions), The 39 Steps, The Wrong Man, Frenzy and the masterpiece of this sub-genre: North By Northwest. Make sure you set aside time to watch this one, once the plot get's rolling - it is impossible to turn this movie off. I'm serious! It's a guilt-powered bullet-train barreling straight towards Mount Rushmore. Thank God Hitch was raised Catholic!
Make it a Catholic Guilt Double Feature and watch this film alongside Scorsese's After Hours! Or if Jewish guilt is more your speed, try pairing it with A Serious Man!
