Set in San Francisco, James Stewart portrays an acrophobic detective
hired to trail a friend’s suicidal wife (Kim Novak). After he successfully
rescues her from a leap into the bay, he finds himself becoming obsessed
with the beautifully troubled woman.
One of cinema’s most chilling romantic endeavours: it’s fascinating myriad
of haunting camera angles shot among some of San Francisco’s renowned
landmarks. This film is a must for collectors: Leonard Maltin gives
Vertigo four stars and hails it as “A genuinely great motion picture that demands multiple viewings.
