Like many other filmmakers whom we consider “auteurs,” Alfred Hitchcock’s films contain common themes and characteristics. While this is not a complete list, the following four features are prominent:
1) suspenseful scenes of action/thrills
2) characters search for a truth
3) the theme of voyeurism
4) the use of macguffins.
Please discuss how NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959) is the work of an auteur by including specific examples from the film for each of the four traits mentioned above.
