Advantages: Great story, direction, screenplay, very entertaining Disadvantages: Not as original or thought-provoking as some of Hitchcock's others
North By Northwest is, at number 23 on the IMDB's greatest films list, one of Alfred Hitchcock's most enduringly popular movies. Made in 1959, it stars Cary Grant as a suave advertising exec fleeing from the police after being caught in the middle of a CIA undercover operation, even though Grant was about 55 years old when it was made!
He plays Roger Thornhill, an average kind of guy, albeit with a very well paid job and his own personal secretary. He's going to the theatre with his mother in the evening, but first meeting up with some guys in a hotel for drinks.
Suddenly, with no explanation, he is kidnapped and taken to the home of Lester Townsend. Much to everyone's bafflement, they begin calling him by the name George Caplin and asking him how much he knows about their plans. What plans? Who are these people? Who is ...
Advantages: Cheap, reasonable and punctual Disadvantages: Have to fly through Denver International Airport
return! Finally, I chanced upon Frontier airlines on the Cheaptickets.com website, and they were offering about 260 dollars return! I couldn't believe my luck and was wondering what was the catch? Well, no catch! So, I happily booked the ticket and lived to write an op about Frontier Airline.
A little history about Frontier Airlines. It started in the summer of 1994 and it is marketed as an affordable fare airline with its hub in Denver. That just means that all flights originate in Denver. So, a flight from somewhere to anywhere would require a stopover in Denver. If I had booked a flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas, I would have had to fly to Denver first on both legs. Now, this seems a bit silly, considering that it would mean flying halfway across US before flying south to Las Vegas for a trip which would take an hour and a half by ...
Advantages: Reasonable special effects Disadvantages: All been seen or done before
are completely lacking in any substance and the movies characters barely get chance to develop enough for you to have any interest in them.
Frontier(s) is due on DVD on the 7th of July, the DVD has no special features.
