This was my all-time favorite movie, but that was when obsession seemed like a perfectly natural thing. A tale of love interfering with a perfectly good murder-for-money plot, the production design perfectly surrounds Jimmy Stewart's descent into psychosis. The titles by Saul Bass are a classic design.

The use of color is noteworthy, especially given the hoopla people raise over Coppola's or more accurrately Sterraro's 80s projects.The score by Bernard Herrman is enhancing without being maudlin. There is a REAL difference between seeing this at home vs. projected. If you have the opportunity, take it. 10/00
