the truly enchanting kim novak has not made an appearance onscreen for 21 years. of her 33 film credits she is surely most known for the movie 'vertigo.' it is a knockout movie and she was terrific in it.
there is an unusual quality to her acting, as if she is a bit unsure and not fully grounded, simply passing through. it matters not as she leaves a very strong impression. my fave kim performance is opposite sinatra in 'the man with the golden arm.' for a woman who could so easily be cast in a goddess role, she is very moving as a kind soul who works a regular job, lives in a tiny apartment, and is in love with an addict.
