Vertigo
A twisting tale by Alfred Hitchcock with Jimmy Stewart
as an ex-cop that is asked to follow a man's wife to see
where she goes when she dissappears for hours at a time.
He ends up falling for the woman, and at that point the plot
thickens! A great movie starring one of the all-time greatest
actors to grace the motion picture screen!! A
From Amazon.com:
Although it wasn't a box-office success when originally
released in 1958, Vertigo has since taken its deserved
place as Alfred Hitchcock's greatest, most spellbinding,
most deeply personal achievement. In fact, it consistently
ranks among the top 10 movies ever made in the once-a-decade
Sight & Sound international critics poll, placing at number 4
in the 1992 survey. (Universal Pictures' spectacularly gorgeous
1996 restoration and rerelease of this 1958 Paramount
production was a tremendous success with the public,
too.) James Stewart plays a retired police detective who
is hired by an old friend to follow his wife (a superb Kim
Novak, in what becomes a double role), whom he suspects
of being possessed by the spirit of a dead madwoman. The
detective and the disturbed woman fall ("fall" is indeed
the operative word) in love and...well, to give away any
more of the story would be criminal. Shot around San
Francisco (the Golden Gate Bridge and the Palace of the
Legion of Honor are significant locations) and elsewhere
in Northern California (the redwoods, Mission San Juan
Batista) in rapturous Technicolor, Vertigo is as lovely as
it is haunting. --Jim Emerson
