Roger Thornhill gets mistaken for someone named George Kaplan. This simple mistake will cause Roger many problems. Notice how he is put in the back seat of the car between two henchmen.

Mount Rushmore
A great spy movie needs great scenery. Check out this clip of Roger & Eve as they try to escape Leonard (Martin Landau) on Mount Rushmore. Again, great tension, great anticipation, great photography - the hallmarks of a Hitchcock film, and this spy film! We will see lots of Bond films with great fight scenes taking place in perilous places - some of that began here.
