I love that transition. It’s just perfect. It leaves a lot out but somehow we just know what happened. Amazing movie.
...and they kept their clothes on and didn't utter the F word!
Probably inspired by Citizen Kane.
This is sheer delusion. That is an atrociously disorienting cut that was surely the result of poor choices made under tight time constraints.
@@ninjagamer1359 It's pretty funny though how out of nowhere it is.
@@jobobbob5825 Lol, agreed
What I love most about the ending is when Van Damm looks so chill standing with the ranger and Professor, delivered one of the best line ''That wasn't very sporting using real bullets'' lol
Van Damm did not seem like the captured convict, the way he casually said that. Was he really on the side of the authorities after all?
Eve Kendall: "What happened to your first two marriages?"
Roger O. Thornhill: "My wives divorced me. They said I led too dull a life"
Pantheon screenplay.
The line I use in my Cary Grant impressions
I have two ex wives, my mother, and seven bartenders to support!
"That wasn't very sporting using real bullets..."
-Alec Baldwin
appropos
@@kyllepoiencot4361a woman died that day. Don’t joke about it.
This is like when your essay is due at 11:59 and you realize you have enough words so you hit the hardest left turn into "AND IN CONCLUSION..."
A perfect climax, followed by a perfect cut, followed by a perfect Freudian final image
probably followed by ANOTHER perfect climax!
This is sheer delusion. That is an atrociously disorienting cut that was surely the result of poor choices made under tight time constraints.
I like to consider this as the first action movie.
The train exploded in the tunnel.
@@ninjagamer1359 try making a movie like that in 1959. Better yet, make a movie like that nowadays
1:07 - 1:22
Thornhill: “Leonard! Brother, help me!”
Leonard: “Long live the king.”
Now imagine if Scar met Leonard's fate
I love how Leonard proves how cold and irredeemable he is. He will always be loyal to Vandamm, no matter what, and no pleas from his enemy in peril will change his mind or awaken any sense of decency in him. Sometimes movie villains just need to be pure evil.
Bruh it’s like they hit the movies budget at the end
Exactly it feels so rushed
Somebody sane at last
My thoughts exactly.
Shocked me when I first saw it in class. Couldn't believe it ended that abruptly.
I think it's make the audience wonder how they got out of it. Did the police drop a rope to them? Did Grant pull her up with the last strength he had in him? It's unusual, but other films have done it. The audience decides for themselves what happened.
Mr. Hitchcock, that wasn't very sporting, showing a train entering the tunnel (instead of...)
Not the train going into the tunnel like that 💀
Lol yeah they just went and did that huh
I would’ve loved to have been in the theatre with this premiered and experience the audience response to the ending. That must’ve been off the hook.
"Come along Mrs. Thornhill" One of the best edits I have seen in any movie. Hitchcock was geniuus. He was well aware that the audience had seen that thing before, so instead he made us chuckle while also making us feel heartwarmed that everything is over and good old Roger can now settle down with his new wife.
This movie is so good that it pains my heart that it's only my 3rd favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie (but it's still in my top 10 favorites of all time). For me Vertigo is the greatest movie of all time and Rear Window is the second greatest Hitchcock movie.
Yea, it would have felt too cliche'd if they gave everybody what "they expected." In a way, I love how I loved the ending while many others didn't.
RageJoona Wow we have the same opinion. Vertigo, Rear Window, and North by Northwest.
I dont get the ending of vertigo did she jump cause she was scared of the shadow walking up which was only a nun, and why didn’t he just hold on to her so she wouldn’t jump, and then his and The nuns reaction to her jumping lol its kinda just a shrug
I think Vertigo is probably his best, but Rear Window and North by Northwest (and, from the earlier era, The Lady Vanishes and the Thirty-Nine Steps) are still my favorites.
@@nelamm18 What about Shadow of a Doubt, Strangers on a Train, & Psycho?
Absolutely nothing suggestive about that final shot. Seriously nothing at all.
Agreed 😂
We stan hitchCOCK.
R.I.P. Martin Landau
I saw this classic film in a packed theater at age 12. I will never forget the group scream of horror throughout the crowd at 0:43, at the flash of Eva Marie clinging to life ....
I remember a college audience laughing, probably in part because the background looks fake, but also she's so made to look so vulnerable on that background. It is abit over the top. The rest of the scene works, but even I have an involuntary chuckle in that first shot of her. And later when she's wiggling her legs for no reason, like she's being held by King Kong.
I think it's also kinda meant to have this pulpy, almost cheesy vibe.
0:29 That fall was deadly
This is one of Hitchcock's five best films. And the ending is simply superb, about five plot points in the space of about five minutes. And the last shot is simply sublime.
1:43 And I now love James Mason.
Vandamm (James Mason) is surprisingly casual after having just witnessed his top lieutenant being shot and falling to his death. That may seem odd, but he was probably aware of prisoner exchanges made with spies at the time (see “Klaus Fuchs”) or of cooperating with his captors and continuing to live the luxurious life he became accustomed to (see “John Cairncross”).
I love that look on Leonard's face after he's shot and falling.
I love the whole movie, which I just watched--AGAIN--on TCM.
Martin Landau
Cary Grant died in 1986, but as of April 2024, Eva Marie Saint is 99 years old and still alive. :)
She turned 100 today.
1:52 Ah yes, the train goes into the tunnel. :) Hitchcock himself said (in "Hitchcock/Truffaut," I think) "...that's a phallic symbol. But don't tell anyone."
I first saw this as a ten yr old when TNT used to run Hitchcock movies...it still remains a favorite
Thanks for having that up. My DVD has a skip in it right at that last moment where Leonard is stepping on Roger's hand. This was the perfect solution!
Wow, such a strange soft focus transition from dream world into dream time.
Alfred Hitchcocks best movie and one of my top ten favorite films ever made.
Technicolored Eve Marie Saint never looked so good as she does within this film!
Look at how brilliant the editing is in the sequence where Leonard is shot at 1:31. The foot on Grant's hand, then we hear the shot, the foot slowly retracts, then we see the statue drop and shatter, then a shot of Leonard toppling over. Those little touches are what make Hitchcock so special!
2:12 That’s what she said
😂
Surprised how much I liked this I mean Psycho was okay at best but this was like an old James Bond movie but took place before James Bond.
It's called the first James Bond movie for a reason
Pretty good shot by the Sergeant, with a revolver.
Should have been a Sherriff with a rifle, that would have been believable.
Damn Eve Marie Saint was/is gorgeous.
I would be dead in no time if I climb down in that outfit of hers 😂
That is my favorite ending of any movie 🍿
This movie doesn't end, it just STOPS.
A wonderful ending to a great movie!
Jon Kalashnikov great movie but the ending was too abrupt
@@catpip_ it suits it though, Hitchcock gives us enough info to fill in what happened. Instead of showing us something we’ve seen already
The editting and visual metaphor is excellent!
The beautiful music score by the late Bernard Herrmann to the 1959 movie "North By Northwest."
I enjoyed this whole film, however this ending felt far too abrupt and rushed.
It's like they ran out of film or something. LOL
When I first saw this I was like “What?! That’s it?”
I think they didn't make it from the cliff
And the whole train sequence was their fantasy ,like the ending of Titanic
@Sammy R. Well it was 59' so I have to cut Hitchcock some slack, but if your film ending is so generic that you can literally skip it and the audience knows what happened then it's not a very good film ending.
The same thing happened in The Birds. They get in the car, and that’s the end.
@@keithwilson6060 That was deliberately open-ended and unresolved. Probably most directors would've dragged out the Mount Rushmore thing with lots of tension and someone getting there JUST in time before Eve slips (you notice no one in that group of good guys seems overly concerned or in any rush down there) but arbitrarily dropping all that and cutting to the train is something probably only Hitchcock would do.
Well, here's the thing.
What more can be told to the audience about Roger and Eve in the time between his trying to save her at Mount Rushmore and the train trip they take together?
The conflict that Roger had been enduring has been resolved. We already know that Roger and Eve have a thing for each other and would likely wind up living their lives together happily ever after, so what more can be said?
How would you end it?
You want to see their wedding for a satisfying closing? Okay, why? If it's to tell the audience that they get married, then how does the ending scene as it is not work to establish that anyway?
Consider this: when telling a story on the screen, one of the rules is to avoid being redundant. Another rule is to tell the story efficiently. There are exceptions, of course, but how would such exceptions work in this case? Why tell the audience what they may already know, and why work harder than you really need to just to say the same thing?
I think that transition between Mount Rushmore to the room on the train could've been better.
40 years later, Martin Landau (Leonard) was the reverend Van Garrett who gets slain by the headless horseman at the beginning scene of Tim Burton’s SLEEPY HOLLOW.
I just finished watching this movie at the local archival screening place, and I was so confused by the extremely abrupt and almost rushed-like ending that I actually had to double check (by watching this video) to make sure it wasn’t just their filmreel skipping over any scenes or shots (They did inform the audience that the reel was a bit damaged and aged)
2:12 Put the "you know what" in the "you know where"... Foxtrot; Uniform..... That scene travelled far.
“I can’t make it!”
*That’s what could have happened*
*But what about this?*
Perfect anticlimax that's also extremely climatic
Back in the time, where Westerners doesn't know how to use Karate, Judo, Taekwondo or anything else. It just all ended within a few minutes or a few seconds with wrestling and boxing.
One of the greatest movies EVER and Hitchcock's best !
This final scene is everything!
HITCHCOCK IS THE G.O.A.T !
The scene you wait for the entire movie. Audience manipulation in a perfect paint-by-the-numbers method which works, but after watching it a million times, is too calculating.
This movie's casting and script is same like our indian evergreen hero 'Devanand' who worked in his movie Jewel thief
The cops shoot the bad guy oblivious to the fact that his body could knocked Cary Grant to his death. Then,ignoring the fact that the hero and heroine are in serious danger, they share some witty banter.
That train was coming fast in the tunnel.
Good ending, saw the movie on TV a few years back.
ラストに列車（特急二十世紀号）が、トンネルに入って行くがヒッチコック曰く『あのシーンはわたしが撮って来た映画の中では最も卑猥なカットだ』との事です。前のシーンからの流れを見れば納得かと。
Nothing phallic here…move along 😂
I don't really like Phillip's death scene. No justice or vengeance to Roger at all. In fact the entire movie was Roger constantly hitting rock bottom and picked on by the world around him and is somehow still sane. He was kidnapped, nearly killed multiple times, quote on quote "seduced", framed for murder, punched in the face and knocked out cold and nearly killed got by a freaking crop duster, and yet keeps his sanity.
Brilliant ending
Oh for the days when Hollywood actually made great movies. People will be watching this one 500 years from now.
Just brilliant.
We never even got to know what the film role was
Relationships were built here
It's an old cliche, but they don't make movies like that anymore!
what does she say after I can’t make it!”? Pliers????
Pull harder.
"Liar!"
It just sorta happens.
nice movie clip
This ending transition would have been perfect but it's so rushed, it's like they ran out of money it was so quick
Yeah that’s what I always felt as well
I get what was intentioned, but it doesn’t feel fully resolved and yeah it’s like they ran out of money and / or time LOL
maguffin 1:37
I always felt a little cheated, honestly...
1:57 "come along, Mrs. Thornhill! " cue *violin music*
00:23/01:46
The ending is so odd.

Ahh, a time when there was no Billie Eilish
What the crap was that ending?
この映画：北北西に進路を取れ、の、
バーナード・ハーマン作曲の映画音楽は、特に、ラシュモア山/フィナーレ、は、劇伴的を外さないソナタ形式の音楽で、神技的にすぐれている。

Great movie - Just watched it for the first time - sadly unsatisfying ending though with horrendous bad edits :(
I think they didn't make it
And the whole train sequence was just their fantasy like the ending of Titanic
That abrupt cut jolted me the first time I saw it, but Hitchcock's messing with us. He knows we expect a big rescue sequence with the hero and heroine ALMOST falling then being grabbed just in the nick of time, blah blah--and I think he's going, "We've seen that a million times. Just cut to the train."
@@bookerjones8123 There's much cleaner ways of executing that if it were the intention. This was a botched job. We're talking Suicide Squad level editing.

@@ninjagamer1359 and the "ninja gamer" talks about Hitchcock...
Wtf he looks old enough to be her father
Great scene though
He was 20 years older than her,so yes

Family Guy anyone?
Bruh no one care about that
ok, Family Guy hater
First
Lol are you kidding me? One of the single worst pieces of editing in film history. How can people be so blindly devoted to Hitchcock not to see that??
The editing would be fine if it wasn't for Cary Grant visibly uttering "yes" when what we hear is "come along". It would have been okay if he wasn't already smiling (one could say "what we hear doesn't match but it's still an echo of the cliff scene", like this is when cliff rescue/train merge - but "yes/come along" is already on the train...). That said, it adds strangeness to an already strange film, even if it's accidental. It's disorientating. It's like we still see the cliff sequence already hearing the train bit. Maybe he went for that after all?
No. It's freaking brilliant.
@@stephenwisner4993 Lol ok not sure how something so sloppy, unclear, and abrupt could be brilliant. I'm pretty sure they were just short on time and budget at that point and had to mash it together however they could real quick. This is honestly the exact kind of editing one would expect to see from an amateur home video, not from a major motion picture
Agreed, NinjaGamer13.
That's just your crap opinion
