Alfred Hitchcock
I love this film! It’s very good a classic in my opinion. Alfred Hitchcock was a motion picture genius a master of suspense and a master of cameos *wink wink* When I saw the cover of this film it reminded me of Marvel’s villain Vertigo she has the power to make people sick on the spot.
Kim Novak played her character very well Madeline and Judy and James Stewart played his role amazingly as John (Scotty) Ferguson it was also very suspenseful because we don’t know if James Stewart is a good guy or a bad guy, It was a good insight into what it looked like in 1950’s San Francisco. Also the Spanish village was very informative to that era.
The only really worrying part for children less than eleven watching the film is Scotty’s dream sequence it may give them nightmares.
But in my own opinion this film rips out my senses, slaps them against the table and then shoves them back.
