I still remember to this day the hypnotic scene when Jimmy Stewart's Scottie is following Kim Novak's Madeleine and she walks into a flower shop from an alley back door. The alley is dark and dirty and the door is made of wood. I can swear when voyeuristic Scottie opens the wooden for a crack to see Madeleine surrounded by beautiful, colorful lush blooms I got a whiff of fragrant flowers myself.

Vertigo is Hitchcock's most person film and undoubtedly his masterpiece.
Judy (Kim Novak): If I let you change me, will that do it? If I do what you tell me, will you love me?
