Only one is a wanderer; two together are always going somewhere.
1958 Alfred Hitchcock
Set in San Francisco, a retired police detective is asked by an old college friend to keep an eye on his wife who he thinks is going mad obsesed with a dead ancestor.
The retired detective, Scottie, obviously never worked undercover, it is some of the worst following I have seen in any film. He follows her a lot and becomes obsessed with her.
There is the usual Hitchcock twist and turn or two and a dramatic ending.
I didn't like this as much as Rear Window, probably because it's just a bit too lovey dovey.
I almost forgot, Scottie is scared of heights, so he can't follow her everywhere.
I may return to it one day.
6.5/10
