Alfred Hitchcock loved to play head games with his audience ("Psycho," "Spellbound," the list goes on), but never moreso than in his 1958 classic in which an acrophobic detective ( James Stewart) thinks he's witnessed the death of the woman he's obsessed with -- only to find out he was being duped by her doppelganger.

-- Rick Porter, Zap2it
