The Enchanted Cottage (1945)


"It's Too Late" from Vertigo
1958. James Stewart as John "Scottie" Ferguson kisses Kim Novak as Madeline Elster, and tries to prevent from her from going to the church tower, but she goes and runs up, and Scottie tries to catch up and save her, but his fear of heights sets in.  Happy Birthday Jimmy Stewart! In honor of his birthday, here is a tribute to him I wrote 3 years ago: James Stewart: Gruff Humanist
