One of Hitchcock's most discussed films. Retired police detective Stewart, who has a fear of heights, is hired by old school chum in San Francisco to keep an eye on his wife (Novak), eventually falls in love with his quarry... and that's just the beginning; to reveal more would be unthinkable. Alec Coppel and Samuel Taylor scripted, from the novel D'entre les morts by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac. Haunting, dreamlike thriller, with riveting Bernard Herrmann score to match; a genuinely great motion picture that demands multiple viewings.
