Vertigo

One movie watched.

Vertigo by Alfred Hitchcock. Not my favorite Hitchcock film. Better than Sabateur and The Trouble With Harry, on par with Rear Window, and not nearing the glory of Strangers on a Train or Rope. I missed the Hitchcock cameo. Jimmy Stewart is exceptional as always (although if it's "as always," it's not an exception), and the directing is great (it's Hitchcock after all). However, the story is a little overlong, and I probably would have tried to find a way to shorten the last half hour.

The twist of it all actually surprised me. The shadow rising in the bell tower at the very end is a very shocking/frightening image.

This is all I have to say about Vertigo.
