Feb. 9 movie: Vertigo. Jesus, what a downer. This is one of the few Hitchcock movies I hadn't seen, and I was totally unprepared for the ending. I had always been given to understand that Hitchcock didn't believe in the perfect crime, and therefore the baddies always get what's coming to them in the end. I'm not complaining that Vertigo was so much darker and more complex, but I have to admit that when the credits rolled I felt like I had been tricked. Maybe that was the point.

Vertigo is tied with Topaz as my least favorite hitchcock film.
