North By Northwest

North By Northwest is the 1959 thriller produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, and James Mason, the tale weaves intrigue around mistaken identity, with an innocent man being pursued across the United States.

One of the more tense scenes of the film involves a showdown between Grant and Saint, where she pulls a gun on him. As if on cue, a child in the scene covers his ears in anticipation of what he inevitably knows will happen.
