While this is a nice package, it looks as if WB and Universal are counting on DVD-R initiatives to rope in the buffs eager to see films that have never seen the light of DVD release. I can imagine the other studios following their lead as the catalog market disappears on standard DVD and Blu-ray. I've bought these particular films enough times, in packages once touted and reviewed as “best quality ever,” to resist the sales pitch–though I repeat it does look appealing, and NORTH BY NORTHWEST is great fun in any format.

Right there. North By Northwest is much less cerebral than Vertigo, which was digging way down into psychology and obsession. North By Northwest is, however, the grand-daddy of almost every Hollywood chase film afterward.

Of the two, I'd have to chose Vertigo as the more accomplished film. It's certainly a more serious film. And talk about a Hermann score! I definitely agree that NXNW is more accessible though.

In the original Manchurian Candidate, Angela Lansbury brilliantly played the Laurence Harvey character's mother. She was only three years older than him.

From what I've read, Landis was only SIX years older than Grant. Gotta love Hollywood!
