how's that for a Presidents Day banner? ( thank you Keith! )


Undercover Federal Agent Eve Kendall makes her getaway in her new Lincoln Continental as she flees the Mount Rushmore park cafeteria where she has just shot (with blanks) the "supposed" federal Agent George Kaplan, who is actually Madison Avenue adman Roger O. Thornhill, in front of two communist spies and a number of civilians.

 The movie is "North By Northwest", a great cold war spy movie by Alfred Hitchcock, filmed in 1957 and 58, and released in 1959. An excellent movie, nominated for three Academy Awards, certified 99% Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes, and included in a myriad of top movies of all time.

Eve Kendall: Eva Marie Saint
George Kaplan / Roger O. Thornhill: Cary Grant 
The Professor: Leo G. Carroll 
Guest baddies: James Mason and Martin Landau
