Breon Smith Period 4 5/23/13 Mr. Hayes The Greatest Paper Ever The movie North By Northwest by Alfred Hitchcock was interesting to watch. It had a good story line because it had an element of mystery and surprise. Originally‚ I had thought that one of the guys in the mob was the secret agent but it turned out it was the woman.

By regarding filmmaking as yet another form of art‚ Auteur theory stipulates that a film is the direct result of its director’s genius. With the emerging

Vertigo Paper The movie Vertigo‚ by Alfred Hitchcock is a very dark‚ twisted film about a man falling in love with the wrong woman. The movie beings with a chase across rooftops to catch a criminal.
