This wonderful thriller was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and stars Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason. The score for this film was by Bernard Herrmann, who also collaborated with Hitchcock on Psycho, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Vertigo. The film's opening title sequence was created by the legendary graphic designer Saul Bass.
