A movie called North By Northwest is scheduled to be on TCM this Saturday. I believe most of it takes place on the Twentieth Century Limited between New York and Chicago, and then on to Mount Rushmore. Is anyone familiar with this movie, and does it show much in the way of railroads outside of the train ?
I just watched that again the other night. It’s a classic Hitchcock movie. The train scenes, perhaps 1/4 to 1/3 of the movie, are mostly inside the dining car and a Pulman car. The Mt. Rusmore scenes are good. They’re also funny to those who have been there.
Great Movie - Maybe 1/5 of the movie is set in Grand Central & on the 20th Century & then in La Salle St Station. Lots of Good Shots of the 20th Century
The only thing I didn’t care for, was the scene in “Indiana” . The movie is set in the summer time, but the cornfield scene was filmed in the fall.
Watch the end of the movie as he kisses to girl & the scene immediately changes to a train going into the bore of a tunnel!!!
Lots of hidden meanings

PS Don’t forget to look for Hitchock? at the beginning of the move. He always makes a cameo appearance
Well the movie itself is a classic as someone said. Most of the train shots are inside the train as others have mentioned I would estimate take up 15/20% of the movie
