Showcase of Phobia, Angst, Love

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2018)

If I had a time machine, I would have loved to travel in time and have dinner with Alfred Hitchcock. If then why, Stan Lee must have been inspired by the cameo roles of Hitchcock in his own films that he decided to peg it. This is such a classic and to see Mr. 'Nice Guy James Stewart out of his usual mister nice guy roles, this is a good movie. There is such élégance to the ladies and gents of the late fifties early sixties, and James as an acrophobic guy who fell victim to Kim Novak's charm and was the fall guy to masquerade a criminal scheme is very humane in his portrayal. And for a bombshell, Kim can act. For all those who have the patience for traditional suspense, this is a movie one should put in his or hers to watch list.
