Vertigo (1958)

"basically, no one does anything logical in this film"

"terribly annoying with something continuously spinning."
The movie is hard to understand and it drags on for too long.

It's all about an old guy in a car who is chasing a woman

I know all film plots are naturally goofy

Jimmy Stewart on some wild goose chase following a friend's wife to see if she's possessed by a demon(?!?)



The actors are either plastered or made of wood.

as if they're half-asleep on drugs.

How anyone could begin to fall in love with such a frigid, boring personality as played by Kim Novak is beyond comprehension.

She is consistently out-performed by trees, buildings and props

I sat in my seat wishing it would end



James Stewart was about to faint after standing on a chair

clearly far too old to be playing romantic leads at this point in his career

slow moving character

he's mute, staring and unresponding in the hospital

Scottie's problems go deeper than his understandable fear of heights.



An amazingly sexist viewpoint

Stewart's character becomes so obsessive and controlling

Why would she allow easygoing Scottie to coerce her into wearing all those new clothes and unraveling her disguise after seeing that he was suspicious?

a man's attempt to reshape a woman into the image of a woman he thought he loved and lost, not realizing they are the same woman

He ought to have been served a restraining order.

Every movie I've seen him in he's been the same idiotic dimwit. His intended affable, lovable goofy exterior only irritates, frustrates and makes you want to set fire to the videotape



There were so many unnecessary camera shots

embarrassingly silly plot

The use of colour is probably the only good thing about this

Each time I watch it I find less and less

I've actually seen it three or four times

I wish this film had stayed away from me.
