North by Northwest (1959)

Easily one of the earliest films that I watched just because I'd heard its name around. Years before this project started, I caught North by Northwest on a night showing on television. If you thought the film was long before, try it with commercial breaks.

As a result, the film was choppy and fragmented, I had trouble keeping track of who was blackmailing who, who didn't exist and why someone went anywhere for any reason. By the climactic finale on the faces of Mount Rushmore, I had no idea who was a good guy or bad guy.

That's probably a shame.
