Living In: North by Northwest

North by Northwest is one of my mom’s all time favorites, so naturally growing up I hated it. Clearly, I wasn’t attuned to the amazingness that is a Hitchcock thriller comedy involving a case of mistaken identity, espionage, attempted murder by crop dusting and the perfection of the cold as ice blond bombshell stereotype. 

Anyways, it didn’t take long for me to come around and now it’s one of my all time favorites, too.  Cary Grant can do no wrong, obviously, but the real stunner here is Eva Marie Saint.  Her steamy, good girl gone bad gone good portrayal of Eve Kendall is the pinnacle of womanly seductive prowess.  If I don’t pluck up the courage to take a leaf out of her book, at least I can fake the part, martini in hand.
