Hitchcock's Best

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2003)

Although it is not as stylish as PSYCHO, or as fun as NORTH BY NORTHWEST, this is Hitchcock's best picture. It is deeper than almost any other film ever made, and is complimented by an incredibly good Bernard Hermann score and great acting by James Stewart. However, I have one question: In the first 45 minutes or so in the movie, right when James Stewart is first hired to follow Kim Novak's character, who is it that he sees in the window of the old hotel? I have watched the film many times and have not been able to figure that part out. Anyway, this is a masterpiece on many levels.
