Vertigo


Overall a great film and probably one of the best mystery movies ever made (actually yesterday it was named top mystery movie of all time on the AFI 10 top 10). I love the way Hitchcock uses San Francisco to give the movie atmosphere as well as his genius use of colour--the green signifying Madeleine and the red his obsession. I don't care much for Jimmy Stewart (but then again, I never did) but Barbara bel Geddes is memorable despite her small amount of screen presence.
