Kim Novak Flap Not Likely To Affect 'The Artist'

Abstract

Karger features actress Kim Novak. Following controversies involving eventual Best Picture winners Slumdog Millionaire, The Hurt Locker, and The King's Speech, The Artist has now come under fire for its use of some of Bernard Herrmann's musical score from Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. In a full-page ad in Variety, Vertigo star Novak called the use of Herrmann's work "cheating".
