However, if you actually enjoyed this old movie, and wished they turned it into a television show, well, you actually have an option!

The movie North by Northwest was released in 1959. It featured a middle aged guy running around after bad guys. In the 1950''s to the 1970's, all the older stars were still alive, still wanting to make movies. They would be given a generic role.
