James Stewart's wonderful life and enduring legacy

James Stewart would have turned 100 this week. Both the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are celebrating his centenary this month. Stewart gives one of his best performances as the San Francisco detective John “Scottie” Ferguson who becomes obsessed with a woman (Kim Novak) he’s hired to follow in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 psychological masterwork, “Vertigo.”
