This title sequence stunned me the first time I saw the film in college back in 1984. Probably Bass' best work for Hitchcock. This rates as one of the most striking and thematically appropriate title designs in cinema history. If they gave Oscars for title design, this would have won. Great work and a terrific start for a classic film.

One of Hitchcock's finest--a feast for the eye! Even in the age of CGI this title sequence holds up well--it's classy, ominous and sexual. I am about to see the movie in a 70 mm version this afternoon--will be a real treat!
Yes..I think it is important to note the film that follows isn't so bad really. Lol. For Psycho his titles can probably lay claim to being as important artisitically as the actual movie.
I'm going to be daring and say the music is actually more important than the actual visual titles for the intro and it perfectly encapsulates the emotions that will be felt during the course of watching the film- the grandeur and style and ultimately tragedy all expressed in that plangent minor chord...
Very weird but oh so very beautiful film. Hitchcock was less concerned about the story and more concerned about expressing the emotion and feeling of the situation through the film. Also Hitchcock was fascinated by the "vertigo effect" after leaving a party drunk and having his surroundings seemingly stretch away from him.
It is, the film is about Scottie's fetichistic obsession on Madelaine, when he meets Judy he wants to transform her to Madelaine (not knowing both are the same person). The opening titles are masterful, we see closeups of a woman, nose, lips, eyes, she seems uncomfortable, the camera is looking at her as the representation of a woman not as a person, just like Scottie does with Madelaine/Judy.
@iLoveChocolateMilk00 ever been obsessed? lying awake, feeling sick, only able to think about the one thing you know you shouldn't be thinking about? now that's pretty universal stuff, no?
The dizziness vertigo resolution “kamvuku top” (Google it) protected my well being from more complications. I could have terrible instances of dizziness due to vertigo. My experience while driving troubled me, so I never drove a vehicle again. Through this treatment method that I was using twice daily for four months now, I do not really feel light-headed, nauseated, or dizzy at all.
such an awesome film, I get goosebumps as soon as the music start
One of the finest films ever made. Absolutely chilling.

Just as important as the film itself. Saul Bass's title is truly a work of art!
i will go along with that

James Stewart's name; also a moustache

The speed is off. Something is wrong with the source. Too fast.
