CARY GRANT IS A MAN ON THE RUN in his fourth and final film with iconic director Alfred Hitchcock. As a Manhattan adman plunged into a realm of spy (James Mason) and counterspy (Eva Marie Saint), he is abducted, framed for murder, chased and, in a signature set piece, crop-dusted. Particularly memorable is when he hangs for dear life from the faces of Mount Rushmore. Savor one of Hollywood's most enjoyable thrillers from the Master of Suspense.
