Editorial Reviews
Released in 1958, Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo was the first of a four-movie run -- North By Northwest, Psycho, and The Birds followed -- that would embody the essence of the director's mastery of his craft and his inimitable knack for telling a scary story. Vertigo introduced Hollywood to an intangible but eminently destructive villain: obsession. James Stewart plays a retired police investigator hired by an old college pal to secretly follow his wife (Kim Novak), whom the friend says is behaving strangely. As Stewart trails Novak through the bayside parks of San Francisco, backed only by Bernard Herrmann's mesmerizing score, he becomes mysteriously, and romantically, fixated on her. A series of plot twists -- including an apparent suicide, an act of betrayal and the titular psychological disorder suffered by Stewart -- ultimately upends the action, and the film reaches a fevered crescendo. Based on the French novel D'entres les morts, Vertigo was originally met with a lukewarm reception by critics. In the years since, however, it has become one of Hitchcock's most analyzed -- and admired -- films. Bruce Kluger, Barnes & Noble
