North by Northwest

So I now finally get the joke from Family Guy, "...in other news, Eve Marie is no Saint". Cary Grant is bumbling and charming (less bumbling than in Bringing up Baby and less charming than A Philadelphia Story), Eve Marie Saint seems a bit old for a 26 year old double agent, but she does play it with a nice icyness that is very January Jones' Betty Draper-esque. I was a bit annoying by how there was so little redeemable about her character, but Hitchcock wasn't exactly known for his progressive views on women. One of my more favorite Hitchcock films, slightly behind Rope. Does make one want to take a journey on train in first class.
