Viewing Notes

A great performance by Kim Novak as two completely different characters really makes this film. The score is also great. Easy to see that this inspired DePalma’s BODY DOUBLE. I’d forgotten just how unhinged Stewart’s character gets during the final act; he essentially turns into the bad guy.
