Hmm. Okay. I'll reread that part before continuing . . . Oh, I see, there's no indication the woman in the painting in Drowning Girl committed suicide. It's interesting Eva seems to imply Saltonstall's death wasn't accidental.
I seem to remember telling you a scene in Murder of Angels reminded me of Vertigo, too. Though with me, "It reminds me of Vertigo," may at this point just be another way of me saying, "I like it."
I didn't really appreciate Vertigo until my twentieth viewing. I liked it the first couple times, but I wondered what all the fuss was about. It's a movie with really vital, subtle layers, layers much subtler than usual in movies of the 50s. Well, of any period.

Interesting correlation, but...
the fact that Eva is associated with a painting in a museum of a woman who committed suicide in the nineteenth century,
...you should reconsider this conclusion about the painting.

Oddly, I don't think I've ever seen Vertigo all the way through; I'm hit-and-miss with Hitchcock.
