One of Hitchcock's greatest films. Cary Grant plays Roger Thornhill, the suave ad man mistaken for a Federal Agent, trapped in a web of intrigue that ends with the classic climax atop Mount Rushmore. Eva Marie Saint is the amorous spy, Leo G Carroll the FBI man with double-edged tactics, and James Mason and Martin Landau the icily villainous traders in state secrets.
