When I am asked my favorite Alfred Hitchcock film, I can never decide between “North by Northwest” (1959) and “Psycho” (1960). Different as can be, “Psycho” is the best of the “creepy” Hitchcock flicks — those that cause you to snuggle on the couch with your significant other when it shows on late-night television. Meanwhile, “North by Northwest” is the best of Hitchcock’s “adventure” films — those that, often fueled by espionage and / or mistaken identity, take us to exotic locations and place our heroes in dire straits.
