Watch this.
Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock team up to make one of the all-time best spy movies. There's no special effects, hardly any gun clapping, and no bikini shots (which is by far the most missed aspect of any decent spy movie).
Though he's already fifty five years old in this movie, Grant is still the leading man to trump all leading men. At this point in time Grant had cut his contract with Paramount and gone on to start his own studio "Grantley Productions". This was a huge move considering at the time that real movie stars were contracted to one studio, allowing him to do the movies that he wanted.
Alfred Hitchcock once said that Cary Grant was the only actor he ever loved as a director. Watch for the Hitchcock cameo early in the movie. Next up on the playlist is "To Catch a Thief" which is another great Hitchcock/Grant collaboration.
