About the film
Jimmy Stewart stars as San Francisco police detective “Scottie” Ferguson who leaves the force after witnessing a fellow officer fall to his death and thereafter suffers from acrophobia – an unsettling fear of heights, accompanied by the dizzying sensation of vertigo. When an old friend asks Ferguson to do him a favor and follow his strangely-behaving wife Madeleine, he does so and becomes embroiled in a complex murder scheme that forces him to confront his deepest fears.
Considered by many to be Hitchcock’s magnum opus, Vertigo has everything you could want from a psychological thriller. The beautiful on-location cinematography by Robert Burks also gives audiences exquisite views of San Francisco in its late-1950s heyday. Garnering mixed reviews at the time of its release, this film has since gone on to be considered one of the greatest films in cinema history.
