Alfred Hitchcock is back with this classic tale of suspense, in which a private investigator, played by James Stewart, falls in love with Kim Novak, the woman he’s been hired to follow. A relative disappointment upon its initial release, the film went on to earn substantial acclaim. It even knocked “Citizen Kane” off the top of the British Film Institute’s list of the 50 Greatest Films of All Time in 2012.
