A classic tongue-in-cheek Hitchcock with the evergreen Cary Grant as hero. Though in his latter years Cary never lets you feel his age and the film moves with lightning speed. Who can forget the murder scene at the UN and the memorable mistaken identity chase through the Mid-West. The Crop dusting scene & the Mt. Rushmore finale are now folklore.
Most of the movie going public dont realise that these scenes have been consistently copied in various forms by contemprory directors throughout the world.
James Mason makes the classic urban political villain and the Star Trek Mr Spark a definite crony.
In short nothing but a memorable classic which improves with every viewing. Unfortunately not many people in India (my part of the world) have seen this great film. A sure need for a release.
