Mini-review: Vertigo
Feb. 13th, 2008 05:51 pmWatched this classic Hitchcock film with
kestrell recently. Not much to say about it, but two things stood out:
1) I always love Jimmy Stewart, but he does often play the same character. He sure gets to do some interestingly different things in the last act of *this* film. It's not very often that you plausibly worry about whether the JS character is going to go into a homicidal rage and kill thegirl.
2) It was weird-but-cool to see so many San Francisco locations that I had *been* at a few days earlier. If I do move, and get to know the city better, I shall have to re-watch this in a year or so, and see how much more looks familiar :-)
