Pensioned-off detective falls for woman he surveys and loses her twice...

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2001)

This movie is the greatest film of all times. Haunting, beautifully filmed, perplexing and captivating, indeed, it is only so in its entirety, actors, scenes,dialogue, story, taken individually would not amount to such a great deal, but as a whole, it is an absolute masterpiece. Indeed, if it is rated 8.5 on your scale, then I wouldn't know, which movies would be valued at 9 or 10!
You only have to read the Boileau/Narcejac story (on which the picture is based, to see, how much more Hitchcock created from the "property".
