One of Eva Marie Saint’s lines in the dining car seduction scene was redubbed.
She originally said “I never make love on an empty stomach,“ but it was changed in post-production to "I never discuss love on an empty stomach.” The censors felt the original version was too risqué.

ALL TIME FAVORITES !!!
North by Northwest is a 1959 American action thriller film, made in VistaVision, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason. The screenplay was by Ernest Lehman, who wanted to write "the Hitchcock picture to end all Hitchcock pictures".
North by Northwest is a tale of mistaken identity, with an
innocent man pursued across the United States by agents of a mysterious
organization trying to prevent him from blocking their plan to smuggle
out microfilm that contains government secrets.
This is one of several Hitchcock films that features a music score by Bernard Herrmann and a memorable opening title sequence by graphic designer Saul Bass. This film is generally cited as the first to feature extended use of kinetic typography in its opening credits.
North by Northwest is now regarded among the essential Hitchcock pictures and is often listed as one of the greatest films of all time. It was selected in 1995 for preservation in the National Film Registry by the United States Library of Congress, as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
