      This is truly one of the greatest movies of all time. Hitchcock and Cary Grant make an excellent duo -- although they worked together several times, this was their greatest triumph.
     It's a classic story of a man wrongly accused of a crime who goes on the run to clear his name. Along the way they throw in a little sexual chemistry with Eva Marie Saint and a great closing sequence on Mount Rushmore. Being from South Dakota, I always get a little thrill to hear Cary Grant say "South Dakota." There's something sexy about it!
