Steve Hayes says there has never been a more spellbinding tale of obsession or necrophilia than Alfred Hitchcock's most personal masterpiece, "Vertigo" (1958). James Stewart breaks with his good-guy mold to portray a detective in love with the enigmatic wife of a former friend, who may or may not be all she appears. Barbara Bel Geddes lends strong support as the girl he leaves behind and Kim Novak, in the role of her career, plays not only one, but two woman who lead Stewart into a vortex of murder and deceit. Set to the most beautiful score ever written by Bernard Herrmann.

I so enjoy your blog and these regular reviews from Steve Hayes. Keep up the great work!
I love the Tired Old Queen! I have to confess, I don't watch classic movies that often, so it's great to have these recommendations!! I watched Written on the Wind via Netflix on demand. It was awesome! I'd never even heard of it before. I also rented Brick. Very cool -- and JGL is hot! I hope he continues to make more episodes!!
Dear Kenneth;
I sooo appreciate your posting Tired old Queen at the Movies! I'm thrilled to be on your FABULOUS site! What an honor!
And you're sooooo easy on the eyes.
Happy Thanksgiving!
OXOXOX
Steve
Great site, Kenneth! And thanks for increasing the visibility of Steve Hayes's new series of videos--they're as funny as they are informative. His reviews have me popping new movies onto my netflix list and scouring Turner Classic Movies listings.
