USA 1959. D: Alfred Hitchcock
Cast: Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason. 136 mins. 35mm. Original language version.
By accident mistaken for a spy, the harmless New York advertising expert Roger Thornholl (Cary Grant) gets caught between the fronts of rival secret services. The CIA uses his cluelessness to lure the other side onto a false trail – the beginning of a chase that leads across the American continent, whereby Thornholl involuntarily becomes a hero. A perfect and original confusion about agents and false identities.
With a psychoanalytical and filmcritical commentary after the screening
