#36. North By Northwest
Alfred Hitchcock is widely regarded as the founder of the modern thrillers and he has directed over 70 mystery films. One of his greatest classics is the 1959 film North by Northwest, which received three Academy Award nominations.
In one of the most dramatic scenes, Eve Kendall’s character unexpectedly shoots Thornhill in a café. Obviously, they had us on the edge of our seats, so I doubt anyone realized this tiny detail in the background. Among the crowd, there’s a young boy dressed in blue who is covering his ears, obviously knowing that the sound of shots was about to come. I guess that not even the editors took notice.
