I can see other arguments for their best film together, but I definitely feel it's Grant's best performance for Hitch.

Suspicion is quite good, though let down by a studio ending.

Notorious is great, though I would say Grant is one of the less interesting parts of the film, relatively speaking.

To Catch A Thief is a lovely vacation that I wasn't invited to, so it rather bores me.

North By Northwest is Hitchcock's best "wrong man" thriller, with Grant also at his charm apex. So that's the one.

Love Suspicion and Notorious, but North by Northwest is the one for me. What a toweringly perfectly wonderful thing.

It’s also his proto-Bond movie, so of course it’s one of my favs of his.
	I want all of you to enjoy your cake, so... enjoy.
