Kim Novak was Radiant

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2008)

Have not seen this film in a very long time and greatly enjoyed the great acting by Kim Novak, (Madeline Elster/Jude Barton). I also enjoyed the great film locations in San Francisco, California where I lived for a few years and recognized all the places that took place in this film. Alfred Hickcock did an outstanding job of directing this film and in most of his films, he loves beautiful blonde's and he sure pick a great actress in this film. Detective, Scottie Ferguson is asked by a long time good friend to keep an eye on his wife because she has started acting very peculiar. Scottie has just retired from the police force because of a problem he encountered chasing a fugitive on a high building and he developed vertigo. Scottie follows Madeline Elster all over San Francisco and even saving her from jumping into San Francisco Bay. These two people begin to fall in love with each other and that is when the plot gets very interesting. This is a great film you can watch over and over again over the years. Enjoy.
