Vertigo is in color.

I thought, for sake of discussion, that I'd mention the film I enjoy that is often referred to as "the best Hitchcock film that Hitchcock didn't make" - Charade. It did seem to have all of the elements. I just looked up Peter Stone who was the writer and director on that: he has quite a few recognizable films to his credit but isn't a household name (at least not in my household). Actually, this fellow probably deserves a thread of his own, when I look at the classic films in his oeuvre. He trod a parallel path with some of his stories (Charade, Arabesque, Father Goose, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three).
