North By North West (1959)

                                                          North By North West

This film was about a hapless New York advertising executive is mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies, and is pursued across the country while he looks for a way to survive. The writer is Alfred Hichock and the writer was Ernest Lehman.

Thrillers are characterised by fast pacing action. One example of this is when rodger thornhill

is in a car chase being chased by the people who think he is a man called George Kaplan. Another example of this is when george Kaplan was trying to get away from the police in the train station who were looking for him.

A lot of the time in thrillers, there are resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more powerful and equipped villains. I think that in "North By North West" this is true because Kaplan (the hero), saves Eve and stops the plans of Phillip Vandamm (the villain) and his people.

Towards the end of the film there was a cliff hanger, when Roger Thornhill and Eve Kendall were hanging of a cliff.
