Cary Grant is shown trying to get his girlfriend, Dyan Cannon, the female lead in "North By Northwest" in 1961. He had already made the film long since - it was filmed in 1958 and in cinemas by May of 1959. Furthermore, the film's legendary scene of Grant being pursued by a monoplane through a cornfield is shown being filmed on a studio set rather than on location, and Alfred Hitchcock, the director, is shown casually dressed in shirtsleeves and a cardigan, whereas the real Hitchcock was famous for always being formally dressed in suit and tie on film sets, and expected his crew to do likewise.
