Alfred's Best work of true art!

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2006)

This is Alfred Hitchcock's finest work. Though you find out who Madaline really is two thirds of the way through the movie, the ending is still climatic and very powerful. You never expect her to fall off the roof at the very end, but this helps cure Jimmie Stewart's "Vertigo." Bernard Herrmann does a fabulous job once again with the musical score. There is deep passion written in the music, and it enhances the mood of the film to a drawing and clenching feeling. The whole entire movie, you are trying to understand why Kim Novac is walking around as if in a daze. You think that she is possessed, but later you realize that it is all a gimmick. She falls in love with Jimmie Stewart, so after the death of the real Madaline. She forces herself to become her real self from Selina, Kansas.
