If I had a time machine, I would have loved to travel in time and have dinner with Alfred Hitchcock. If then why, Stan Lee must have been inspired by the cameo roles of Hitchcock in his own films that he decided to peg it. This is such a classic and to see Mr. 'Nice Guy James Stewart out of his usual mister nice guy roles, this is a good movie. There is such élégance to the ladies and gents of the late fifties early sixties, and James as an acrophobic guy who fell victim to Kim Novak's charm and was the fall guy to masquerade a criminal scheme is very humane in his portrayal. And for a bombshell, Kim can act. For all those who have the patience for traditional suspense, this is a movie one should put in his or hers to watch list.

Watching this movie in 2018 for the first time,i can say i find it pretty average.Its hard for me to review this movie in 1950s standarts as I'm only 23 years old.The acting is good and Kim Novak is simply an angel.The scenes with James Stewart following Kim with his car are too LONG.At some point it gets pretty boring.Also It shouldnt be that hard to realize that Judy is actually the same women he fell in love and thought she died.I mean she only changed her hair,c'mon.But I guess It's normal when you think with that decade's innocence.The music in the movie is also average when you compare it with Hitchcock's other movie Psycho.

This movie seems illogical from many perspectives. I normally skip not a single second of a movie except in the case of this one. It contains some random characters, nearly no story, top to bottom poor in terms of logic. It felt like let abandon watching this movie after 2/3. But quickly thought to add another count to my watched movies list. However, disappointed by the high rating.

Although I prefer Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954) and arguably the best movie of all time Psycho (1960) there is no denying that Vertigo (1958) is another masterpiece by the master of suspense. Classic James Stewart is at his best and delivers. Hitchcock's typical style of rarely letting the tension up works perfectly since the movie is paced excellent and gives every character a time to shine. But what makes Vertigo so good is that the plot is completely unpredictable and in the beginning the story feels so bizarre. It's another one of Hitchcock's gripping thrillers and probably his most though-provoking. Like "Rear Window" this is barely missing the full points: 9/10
