Alfred Hitchcock Made The First James Bond Movie 3 Years Before Dr. No
Three years before 007 made his big-screen debut in Dr. No, Alfred Hitchcock laid the groundwork by making a movie filled with James Bond DNA: North by Northwest. Cary Grant stars as an advertising executive on the run after a case of mistaken identity. He is pursued by foreign spies and falls for a mysterious woman with unclear motives. The bright and exciting action-thriller is known for iconic sequences in which Grant, as Roger Thornhill, is chased by a crop duster and battles the film’s antagonists atop Mount Rushmore. One of many Hitchcock and Grant collaborations, North by Northwest was a massive hit that clearly influenced what was to come in the case of popcorn entertainment and Britain’s greatest super spy.
