Vertigo

Alfred Hitchcock's famous "romance thriller" and "crime drama" shows us Scottie (James Stewart), a retired detective who suffers from vertigo. He is shaken out from his retirement by an old college friend who wants him to shadow his wife (Kim Novak) who is suffering from a strange ailment. Hitchcock then takes you on a vertiginous and enjoyable ride along with Stewart and the beautiful Novak. I have to say that they don't make crime thrillers like these anymore.

James Stewart is an underated star. From what I have read, to have worked with Hitchcock for so long, in itself is a great feat. try and see if you can watch 'Rear Window'
