Vertiginous
There’s a point in Vertigo where the story turns for the worst. If you haven’t seen it yet, please stop reading as this is SPOILER material.

Just after Jimmy Stewart’s character runs into Kim Novak’s non-blonde, hick from the sticks, he asks her out on a date. She agrees, and he leaves allowing her to get ready for the date. At this point, Hitchcock segues to the murder, and we find out she is really her with whom Jimmy Stewart’s character fell in love. She decides to leave town. Yet, she doesn’t and the movie runs to its sad conclusion.
Within these few minutes of Vertigo, Rear Window fades to second in my list. Anyway, I bought the DVD today and just had to watch that part as well as the suit buying scene. Barabara Bel Geddes appears in this film. She died this past year and was part of the rollcoll of the dead at this year’s academy awards.
Obsession can be deadly. Deceit can be maddening. Lies are always not what they appear to be.
Fuck you, Scotty. You’re an ass.
