Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who plays Roger Thornhill?

Answer: Cary Grant

James Stewart was the original actor thought of for this role, but Hitch thought it would be better suited for Cary Grant. I agree.

2. Who plays Eve Kendall?

Answer: Eva Marie Saint

Eva Marie Saint was very excited about being chosen for such a sophisticated character.

3. Where does Roger Thornhill meet friends for drinks before he is kidnapped?

Answer: The Oak Bar at The Plaza

Cary Grant had a suite at The Plaza, so he was very comfortable walking around the hotel and having drinks at the Oak Bar.

4. At the time of the filming, what did Cary Grant charge for an autograph?

He was also known for leaving the table before the check came, so other people would pick up the check!

He is so drunk that he could care less or doesn't understand that a police car is chasing him. Interesting that a man on a bike would cross the road in the dark.

Answer: Bourbon

How did they get those stains out of that pink satin couch so quickly?

Laura's last name is Babson. You find this out from the police because a Mercedes had been reported as stolen.

8. When the doctor at the Glen Cove police station asks Roger to stick his tongue out, what does he say?

Answer: "You better move back."

Cary Grant at his most funny. Lots of material here. I like when he finally curls up on top of the table!

Answer: "In that case, I think we should leave."

Do you blame her?

12. What does Eve Kendall recommend Roger order in the dining car?

Answer: Brook Trout

She also thought it was "a little trouty".

13. Who is George Kaplan?

Answer: A phoney government agent used as a decoy.

What a lot of fuss over one guy who doesn't exist, but what fun!

14. Who plays Leonard, Vandamm's right-hand man?

Answer: Martin Landau

Leonard was in love with Vandamm supposedly.

15. "North By Northwest" was nominated for at least three Oscars, but didn't win any.
