Superb Kim Novak in Film Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2013)

Alfred Hitchcock directed an amazing masterpiece Vertigo a film so great one sees new elements every time I see this gorgeous movie.
James Stewart is perfection but the real shout out goes to Kim Novak then the #1 Female star in the world on loan from her studio Columbia. I mention this because Novak at Columbia was showcased and at Paramount where this film was shot Kim was unprotected and vulnerable. Also Hitch's often comment he meant to cast Vera Miles was again something to get under Ms. Novak's skin. There is no way #1 Box Office Star Kim Novak was preferable to the lovely Vera Miles. Kim Novak was surely the bigger star and Kim Novak's performance in Vertigo to me is what makes this film work.
Bernard Herrman's music is memorable and the entire production deserve our most respectful applause.
Bravo Hitchcock, Novak, Stewart, Herrman.
