VERTIGO

Before I saw this film, I was hearing over and over again that Vertigo was a masterpiece and that after you watch it, you'll become obsessed with it. Well, it's true. Jimmy Sterwart's character is a freshly retired cop who has a phobia of heights. Kim Novak's character is the wife of one of Stewart's friends, who is told by her husband that she has some problems. Vertigo is a masterpiece on many levels. The suspense of the plot keeps you on the edge of your seat. The music is chilling and will become an instant favorite once you hear it. The characters are interesting and you become sympathetic towards them. Alfred Hitchcock is supreme as the genius for this type of film. This movie gives suspense a whole new name. It's a superior work of perfection that nothing can ever touch. This is a film that should never be remade - it should be left as is - perfect.

Overall, it's a must see. One of Hitchcock's finest. Have i said enough good things about this film?

I give this film ***** stars out of *****
