About this product

Product Information

VERTIGO is Alfred Hitchcock's haunting tale of deception, madness, and death--a masterful exploration of fantasy and anxiety. The film ranks with REAR WINDOW as one of the director's most closely studied films for its psychological complexity, while the obsession of its protagonist--John "Scottie" Ferguson (James Stewart)--can also be seen to parallel that of Hitchcock's own fascination with the icy-blonde leading lady he re-created at the center of so many of his films. Ferguson is a retired detective, his career ended by the onset of a paralyzing fear of heights. An old friend, the wealthy Gavin Elster (Tom Helmore), hires Ferguson to follow his wife (Kim Novak), whom, he explains, has grown obsessed with an ancestor of hers. The assignment, however, draws Ferguson out of his comfortable role as observer and into a complex web of intrigue, mingled with the detective's own fantasies and fears. Stewart gives an exceptional performance as the disintegrating detective, while Novak, who was left largely undirected by Hitchcock, conveys a subtle and powerful psychological journey. Another star of the film is its San Francisco setting. VERTIGO is considered one of Hitchcock's most complex, finest films.

    This is a great suspense story set in San Francisco and stars James Stewart and Kim Novak. It has all the elements (dynamic characters, engaging setting, and suspenseful plot) that merge into making this a top-notch movie. Many Hitchcock enthusiasts consider this film to be Hitchcock's masterpiece, and I strongly agree.

  • Vertigo Collector's Edition DVD

    This is the film which was recovered and re-made from deteriorated masters after over a year of work and a million plus dollars. The story of the restoration is included as is a number of other interesting things in the "Bonus Materials" section. This is a great buy and one of the top movies of all time.

  • Compelling performances by Stewart

    One of a series of films that Hitchcock produced in the 1950s featuring powerful music and cinematography. This is James Stewart’s second stellar appearance with Hitchcock, following The Man Who Too Much. Kim Novak’s performance is remote, yet compelling.
