John "Scottie" Ferguson is a retired San Francisco police detective who suffers from acrophobia and Madeleine is the lady who leads him to high places. A wealthy shipbuilder who is an acquaintance from college days approaches Scottie and asks him to follow his beautiful wife, Madeleine. He fears she is going insane, maybe even contemplating suicide, as he believes she has been possessed by a dead ancestor who committed suicide. Scottie is skeptical, but agrees to the assignment after he sees the beautiful Madeleine.

My second all-time favourite film after "Lawrence of Arabia". Has not aged one bit. As for Bernard Herrmann's brilliant music score, what can one say except that it transcends time. - @Monday, August 21, 2017 4:30 AM

Dan...I am always a lil leery about film critics...but you and I must be of the same cloth...I have only watched two of your reviews and know we would have a great time over coffee or a martini discussing Hitch and his actors...keep up the encouraging reviews! - @Saturday, January 28, 2017 5:51 PM

I think this is possibly by favorite Hitchcock film. Either this or The Thirty-Nine Steps (1935). - @Sunday, April 3, 2016 5:52 AM
