This 1958 Alfred Hitchcock movie is one of Kim Novak’s greatest film roles – two of them, actually. Jimmy Stewart plays a man obsessed with the memory of a former love, in a role that challenges him to use every bit of his innate likability to keep his character from seeming overly creepy. But Novak, as the object of his desires, is embraced from the start, especially by Hitchcock’s camera views.
