KIM NOVAK TOM HELMORE
Directed by ALFRED HITCHCOCK Rated PG
(128 minutes)
Vertigo consistently ranks among the top 10 movies
ever made and has taken it's deserved place as Alfred Hitchcock's
greatest, most spellbinding, and
most deeply personal achievement. Set alongside San Francisco's famous
landmarks, James Stewart
plays a retired, acrophobic, police detective who is hired to shadow a friend's suicidal
wife (Kim Novak). After
he saves her from drowning in the bay, his interest shifts from business to fascination with the
icy, alluring
blonde. "Brilliantly twisted, infused with touches of genius and madness"
-Amazon
"One of the landmarks—not merely of the movies, but of all 20th-century
art." -The Chicago Reader
