My brief review of the film

Rating: Null/10 (22 February 2005)

A stylishly directed mystery film with an eye for colour, good cinematography and some excellent acting, the film is pretty much a triumph all around. The story is intriguing and the characters are all very human, making it easy to relate to them. James Stewart is perfect in the lead, and Kim Novak is absolutely stunning, but a special mention must also go to Barbara Bel Geddes too. Everything falls into place perfectly, and the film has a number of aspects that can be analysed deeper, with a lot of symbolism and a number of deep themes. And with outstanding technical aspects too, which include a good score and artistic art direction, it is pretty well a perfect film in itself.
