I don't usually like Hitchcock movies because they are super suspenseful and psychologically too thrilling. I can't handle suspense - I often times have a pretty good sense of what is going to happen in the movie and I really dislike it when I don't. But that's just me... this movie was so shocking to me but I thought everything about it was so well done. Just like the movie Chinatown, the last scene in this movie sold it for me.
In short, this movie is about an old San Francisco detective, suffering from acrophobia, who investigates the strange behavior of an old friend's wife. During his investigations, he finds himself dangerously obsessed with her. The second time Kim Novak appears in this movie, I thought either I was going mad or the producers were too cheap to hire another actress. Simple-minded me. It was this twist that blew my mind.
Memorable quote: And if you lose me, then you'll know I, I loved you. And I wanted to go on loving you.
