Recently being named Sight and Sound's number one movie of all-time does help. You can just hear that score now, can't you? Yes, Bernard Hermann's theme is haunting and undeniably memorable, but the visuals that accompany the piece surpass it. "Scotty" Ferguson (A never better Jimmy Stewart) is forced into retirement due to a severe case of Acrophobia. While, trying to figure out what will he do for the rest of his life an old college friend gives him the opportunity to do what he does best, detective work. He asks him to follow his wife Madeliene (Played wonderfully by Kim Novak) around town, and that old story of boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, girl falls...to her death (This is Hitch we're talking about). Poor Scotty can't bear the loss, and he feels partly responsible for her demise. He then checks into a clinic and mixes grief, confusion and guilt into a poetic nightmare. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgBQyhrQJJo
