Hitchcock's greatest and most complex film

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2003)

An undeniably great film that had all the elements needed to make a classic. I am amazed at how complex the story is. I first saw it about a week ago and was confused, but after repeated viewings I understood it much better. Jimmy Stewart was great as always, but it was Kim Novak's excellent performance as Madeleine Elster/Judy Barton that was surprisingly effective. Bottom Line: If you haven't seen this yet, you're in for a spellbinding, suspenseful, and dark film. Too bad the reviewer below me couldn't see this and bashes it because there is not enough shootouts, explosions,and killings. 10/10
