North by Northwest giveaway at Classic Film Freak
North by Northwest
As a couple of my COBRAS compatriots have pointed out (Tanner, Jason), North by Northwest had its Blu-Ray debut (and a new DVD version) this week. It’s one of the all-time great spy (sort of) thrillers, and one of the best Hitchcock films as well. Wes Britton ranks it among the best 30 spy films of all time, and the folks at HMSS say it wrote the blueprint for the 007 films. I’ve been wanting to watch this one lately, but unfortunately lent my copy out to someone I’ve lost touch with, and who turned out to be a poor borrower!
Well, my situation has been fixed, because I’ve just won a copy of the new DVD from Orson DeWelles, who runs the website Classic Film Freak. And I wanted to let you all know that a second copy is up for grabs tonight, as Orson posts a new trivia question.
If you’ve never seen the film, you should do your best to get a copy, and if you already have one, this is a good chance to upgrade! While you’re there, look around Orson’s site, which contains a bevy of posts on classic cinema, including an extensive review of the first James Bond film, Dr. No.
Which reminds me that I owe you guys some additional posts about Dr. No in comics….
