The acrophobia is almost a red herring for what really ails him. Scottie’s obsession, his fetishism-disturbing-he’s monomaniacal “the gentleman seems to know what he wants”.At 106 minutes the third of fourth jaw-dropper of a moving oil painting on the screen as the couple walks around the pond.We see Novak’s profile again- this time in silhouette at 104 minutes- a masterful formal touch call back to the first time he met here- along with being a stand-alone striking image This has been borrowed from many many times including Chazelle’s La La Land.
