One of Hitchcock 2nd best films ever!!!!! score: 9 (out of 10)

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 1998)

Hitchcock always had a certain passion for using either Cary Grant or James Stewart in his 1950's films. They probably could have played any of the lead characters for any Hitchcock movie. Here, however, James Stewart would have been the best choice. "Vertigo" (1958) is my choice for 2nd best Hitchcock film - the first being "Psycho" (1960). I will not go into a lot of detail for this movie because you have to "pay attention" from beginning to end in order to grasp what is going on. All I can say is that Hitchcock directs this movie with more style and flare than "North by Northwest" (1959).
