Wolff Movie Index

Vertigo(1958)

Wolff rating: GOOD

Plot summary: Psychopath blonde leads retired cop on lethal chase.

Biased, pithy comments: A psychodrama, this mind-bender seems a little melodramatic when put in context with more modern movies. This suffers from the ``idiot plot'' problem, where you wonder what Stewart sees in her. Contains the infamous 5mph chase sequence.

Other Notes: Movie isn't over until the credits roll; remember that.

How many times I have seen it: x1

Starring: James Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes, Tom Helmore.
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
