Synopsis
Stylish thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense. Cary Grant plays an advertising
executive who is being pursued by villains and doesn’t know why. Filmed in wide-screen Vista-Vision, the
scene where Grant, alone on a rural highway, is chased by a crop-dusting plane is a classic. Eva Marie Saint
co-stars as a mysterious woman who Grant encounters on a train. (“How does a girl like you get to be a
girl like you?”)
