North by Northwest - 50th Anniversary

Wednesday November 4, 2009
Alfred Hitchcock's thriller, North by Northwest, debuted 50 years ago, but the film is still loved by fans of the master of suspense. With an intricate plot that involves the mistaken identity of an advertising executive played by Cary Grant, the film contains a scene that shows a car driving on a high cliff, with crashing waves far below. The only problem is that it's supposed to be Glen Cove, Long Island.... and the scene was shot in California. The scene gets a laugh out of many Long Islanders who know that Glen Cove, as most of the island, stretches out on mostly flat land.
