How Hitchcock's North by Northwest Inspired James Bond
Three years before the first James Bond movie was released, Hitchcock made a spy flick with all 007 trademarks.
Sandwiched between Vertigo (1958) and Psycho (1960), Alfred Hitchcocks 1959 spy thriller North by Northwest doesnt get as much modern commendation as the other two, but its arguably his most genre-defining work. Achingly intimate and peppered with indelible scenes, it is one of the English filmmaker's most soulful works, and the idea for its conception was born out of desperation.
