Had a major vertigo episode this morning, which prompted me to think of this movie.
Dizziness grips him––
fear and longing twist his heart ...
past the ledge, she falls.

This is the book upon which Hitchcock based the legendary movie, only in the book, what takes place happens against the backdrop of France during WWII. I really had to push through this one. I only continued to get to the payoff I knew was coming, but I found even the ending a bit disappointed. This is one of the rare instances where I‘d recommend watching the movie and skipping the book.
