don't get me wrong, I loved the film, but I think this goes far beyond homage, so far in fact, I think he should have gotten Stewart for the lead. I don't think there was an origional scene in the entire 110 minuites. Sure the obvious Virtigo, Rear Window, Psycho, and NNW, and the Birds, oh--and De Palma appearing in his own picture...but then I do believe an astute Hitchcock fan could spot a half dozen more bits from the Master of Suspense.Perhaps it should be in the category of "Documentary: a collage of scenes from Hitchcock films".
Body Double with Jimmy Stewart. There's gotta be a great joke in there somewhere!How about instead of "homage" we call it DePalma's "Obsession"?
