Great Cary Grant movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Grant is perfect as the ed exec mistaken for an undercover agent and pursued by agents who think he is interferring with their operation. Eva Marie Saint is the blonde - there's always a blonde in a Hitchcock flick - and James Mason & Martin Landau are superb as the bad guys. Landau doesn't even have to speak to carry off the role. His eyes say it all. Some biographies of Hitchcock suggest he wanted to call the movie "The Man in Lincoln's Nose" which I really don't think would have helped the box office. The allusion to Hamlet and confusion of identiies, even though accidental (Hitch insisted that the title was not taken from Shakespeare) was a much better choice. For an interesting read about how Hitch pulled off the Rushmore scenes go to (visit link)
