Watch this movie, it's creepy. What makes it so eerie is Jimmy Stewart's obsessive nature towards a girl, Kim Novak, and how he broods over her constantly. Yet it's genuine and sympathetic without being lame. Although I did take a particular liking to Midge, I didn't get to see enough of her as I wanted to. The score is haunting, Stewart's colorful nightmare half way through the film is graphically inspired, and the ending leaves you on edge thinking, "Did that really just happen?!" Make sure you see the newly restored, widescreen version. In case you want more Hitchcock, may I suggest Rear Window, Stage Fright, and Strangers on a Train for your viewing pleasure. These films are all best seen in the dark and by yourself.
