Vertigo Scenes 25-26 Summary

  • Outside the flower shop Madeleine used to visit, Scottie spots a brunette who looks strikingly like Madeleine.
  • He follows her to her apartment and knocks on her door. Totally creepy.
  • The woman is startled but reluctantly answers Scottie's questions.
  • She's not Madeleine, she says; she's Judy Barton, from Salina, Kansas.
  • Scottie doesn't believe her, but she shows ID to prove it.
  • Scottie impulsively invites Judy to dinner. After declining politely, she finally agrees.
  • Reluctantly, Scottie agrees to leave and come back, giving her time to get ready.
  • When he leaves the apartment, Judy sits down to compose a letter. We hear her in voiceover as she writes to Scottie to confess.
