best film i've ever seen. i gave it a try to watch because it was so highly praised and it just blew me away, its almost 2 films in one, it grips you like nothing else. All the camera shots , music queues ect are just perfection. No film even comes close to how good this is in my opionion.
The real genius of Vertigo is to have you so engrossed in the plot and invested in the characters that you never even notice that the plot makes absolutely no sense and is ludicrously Scooby Doo. It really is a masterpiece.
James Stewart died 16 years ago today. Vertigo is my favorite Stewart film and second favorite Hitchcock film. Every time I watch it I see something different and am always amazed by his performance in this film. He was a wonderful and I think underrated actor. Kim Novak also very good in this film was underrated too.
Vertigo is to me about human nature. The Ferguson character could have a happy life with Midge in the film but he's more interested in a woman who doesnt exist. It's about how it's human nature to want what we know we can't have and how truly sad that is. I'm always impressed by how hypnotic and emotionally complex this film gets towards the end. A truly beautiful film in every sense and one of my top ten!x
@DFDalton1962 THANK YOU! Of all the Hitchcock films I have watched, "Vertigo" is on the top of the list (Although "Psycho" fights with it from time to time!). I thought that ALL of the performances, especially Novak and Stewart, were incredible.
bu filmin en orjinal tarafı yükseklik/düşme korkusunu görsel olarak seyirciye göstermesi. her filminde olduğu gibi bu filmde de farklı bir teknik geliştiriyor Hitchcock. James Stewart çan kulesine çıkarken dönen verdivenlerden aşağıya bakıyor ve yükseklik korkusu olduğu için başı dönüyor. o baş dönmesini, yükseklik korkusunu kamera hareketiyle gösteriyor seyirciye. kamera hızla geriye çekilirken zemine zoom yapıyor. Bu teknik ilk kez bu filmde kullanıyor...
Saw this a couple weeks ago in a Film & Lit class. Absolute classic. To think, if it weren't for the class, I wouldn't have ever seen this. So glad I took it and was exposed to such amazing movies like this.
Wouldn't dare tell you that. In fact, I read an interview with James Stewart back in the '90's where he said Ms. Novak was one of the best actresses he ever worked with. That's pretty high praise from a guy who played opposite every dame from Katherine Hepburn to Doris Day.
@kinglynx Scott is an ex-detective that discovered that he has a fear of heights. He is asked by a former school friend of his to follow his wife, who seems to have been possessed by someone from her past that killed herself out of madness. I don't want to reveal too much because it will give too much away, but you MUST see it. The film wasn't a hit when it was first released, but over time it has gained the respect that it really deserves as one of Hitchcock's classics.
The "Hitchcock zoom"...aka the "dolly zoom", "zolly", or "Vertigo effect". It was first seen in this film, invented by Hitchcock's director of photography.
Scottie's character is disturbing but his clothes are dapper and his actor sounds endearingly dorky. I'm surprised the movie managed to make it right. I would've thought it'd clash horrendously.
Notice how, about 45 seconds in, her phony mid-Atlantic accent totally drops. When she says, “Look! It’s not fair! It’s too late! It wasn’t supposed to happen this way! It shouldn’t have happened!” We’re actually hearing Judy there. The real Judy. I don’t know who made that decision. Alfred Hitchcock or Kim Novak. But it’s actually a pretty brilliant decision, and adds even more depth to the movie in my opinion.
The acting of Stewart is always great. He is the All American man. Great background, and personality. The movie is a bit ridiculous. No gum chewing salesperson, with red hair, and slang speaking, could become so mysterious, and serious. Not possible.
All these people saying it's so amazing and the greatest film ever now are the ones who're overreacting to an arbitrary group of people claiming it is.
Totally disagree. I have loved this movie since I first saw it, when I was in my teens. Had a visceral response from the beginning . I’m 50 now, and it’s still my favorite movie of all time.
this movie is stupid. how did get off the roof? he's driving wrong side of road, then he goes to all the trouble to make up trudy only to have her die. jeez!
Something that author Paul Hyder said in his book about Vertigo made me look at this scene in a new light. This is what Mr Hyder wrote: "Many writers have looked to Hitchcock’s early years in Berlin and his exposure to the Expressionist works of Fritz Lang, F.W. Murnau, and Robert Wiene as inspiration for the peculiar design of the bell tower’s stairs, but a better comparison would be with the impossible objects painted by Dutch graphic artist, M.C. Escher(1898-1972)." Escher's Ascending and Descending lithograph was first printed in 1960 . . . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascending_and_Descending but two years earlier in 1958(the year Vertigo was released), English psychiatrist, Lionel Penrose, published his Penrose Stairs in the British Journal of Psychology: st-takla.org/Gallery/Art-Portraits-Paintings/General-Paintings/Optical-Illusion/Optical-Illusion-01-Lionel-Penrose-Staircase-Man-Dog.html The resemblance between Escher/Penrose stairs and Hitchcock's stairs at the bell tower is just too close to be a coincidence.

I actually got to see this on the big screen and let me tell you, that zoom effect looks so cool like that.

yes! why would he leave, after witnessing a murder!
Yeah the plot is more of a metaphor for the interplay of the sexes

Saw this first when i was to young to understand the themes involved. It really is Hitchcock`s finest work.

My favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie...
This is my favourite movie ever!
The Greatest Film Ever Made. Period.
it always brings tears to my eyes...
Must see! Truly a classic in all regards.
Classic scene. The Master of thrillers and suspence :-)
Saw the ARTIST last night and front he first bernard hermann nite from this scene I instantly knew it was VERTIGO...that theme is timeless
this movie is amazing..beyond words. if you havent seen i recommend you do. James Stewart and Kim Novak. AMAZING. SUSPENSE
Ignored on release but I feel this is Hitchcocks best film.
Hitchcock's best movie. Much better than the mentioned Citizen Kane.
Isn't it? Its actually my favorite movie. It is extremely difficult for me to watch it because it's so special to me.
2:04 and 2:15 Cinematography

extrait parfait pour l'histoire des arts ^^
I really think it's just as good as 'Citizen Kane'. People have to stop overreacting about Sight & Sound.
This said "Free Movies" by Hitchcock. No these are just clips from an old film
La vérité derrière les apparences... Le vertige moi ça me parle !
@tklogan111809 The DVD doesn't have the mono track?
Great movie and the one that said that Kim can't is an idiot she is a very good actress and also beautiful.

Vertigo is one of the greatest movies of all time you have to watch it to understand that and it was really ahead of its time
is this about fear of heights or something?
Urban202 lmao that’s like saying Proust’s “Remembrance of Things Past” is about a cookie.
It’s more than that
Vertigo Effect at 2:00
How scary is this movie?
I saw it when it first came out, and twice, years later. Too many holes in it. Next to impossible.

Well, I guess it's time for him to find a girlfriend who's a little bit more "mentally stable".

Kim Novak can't act. It's false and overdone at times
