VERTIGO (1958):

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 chillingly romantic endeavors: its 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."

VERTIGO (MORE):

Widely recognised as one of Hitchcock’s greatest achievements, this haunting drama has a San Francisco detective (Stewart at his most intense) fall for the mysterious woman (Novak at her very best) he’s been hired to follow; his increasingly obsessive behaviour leads both of them into dangerous territory. Perhaps Hitchcock’s most disenchanted account of male-female relationships, it’s an unusually frank exploration of the tangled links between idealistic love, erotic fantasy and exploitative manipulation. Bernard Herrmann’s score sweetens the pill to perfection.
