Although it wasn't a box-office success when originally released in 1958,Vertigohas since ... more

taken its deserved place as Alfred Hitchcock's
greatest, most spellbinding, most deeply personal
achievement. In fact, it consistently ranks among
the top 10 movies ever made in the once-a-decade
Sight&Sound international critics poll, placing at
number 4 in the most recent survey. (Universal
Pictures' spectacularly gorgeous 1996 restoration
and rerelease of this 1958 Paramount production
was a tremendous success with the public, too.)
James Stewart plays a retired police detective who
is hired by an old friend to follow his wife (a
superb Kim Novak, in what becomes a double role),
whom he suspects of being possessed by the spirit
of a dead madwoman. The detective and the
disturbed woman fall ("fall" is indeed the
operative word) in love and...well, to give away
any more of the story would be criminal. Shot
around San Francisco (the Golden Gate Bridge and
the Palace of the Legion of Honor are significant
locations) and elsewhere in Northern California
(the redwoods, Mission San Juan Batista) in

haunting. --Jim Emerson

So who is Carlotta Valdes?

Advantages: Unbearably suspenseful, great music
Disadvantages: Quite a big twist to take in

...
The plot of Vertigo is quite simple in essence, even if it is a little strange and implausible, and everyone knows that the simpler premises are always the best. Vertigo only really has about four characters, and this means that it is virtually impossible to get lost in the sub-plots (there aren't any). However, it does require you to believe an extremely "everything-you've-just-seen-is-false" kind of twist. If you have no problems ...

Have YOU Got VERTIGO?

Advantages: One of Hitchcock's best
Disadvantages: Minor plot holes

Vertigo is a pretty famous Alfred Hitchcock film. It was released in 1958 and starred James Stewart and Kim Novak with support from Barbara Bel Geddes (who went on to famously play Miss Ellie Ewing in Dallas for a decade or so) and Tom Helmore. John Ferguson (Scottie) is a retired police officer who developed vertigo during a chase when a colleague fell to his death from a rooftop. He has severe vertigo and it causes some complications in his life ...
...mission and because of his vertigo Scottie is unable to save her and is consumed with guilt. Sometime later Scottie spots a woman called Judy who looks a lot like Madeline and starts to date her. He then starts to suspect that they are one and the same woman but how can this be? Madeline was elegant and refined whereas Judy is coarse and somewhat vulgar. What is the truth behind Scottie's confused thoughts? Can he trust his once sound judgment to ...

Hitchcock at his Height

Advantages: vintage Hitchcock, suspenseful, enigmatic
Disadvantages: some scenes seem dated, though I don't mind

Vertigo (1958) stars James Stewart as John Ferguson, known as Scottie to his acquaintances, a retired San Francisco detective. Scottie retired from the force after a rooftop scene in which a colleague of his died, the trauma and guilt leaving Scottie with a bad case of vertigo. A man of independent means, he spends his days doing next to nothing but chatting away the hours with his best mate and former date, Midge. Scottie is brought out of his ...
...complexity, mystery and suspense. Vertigo is one of Hitchcock's most suspenseful movies, and we are kept hooked by this throughout. Will Madeleine and Scottie be discovered? Will Scottie manage to keep Madeleine alive? At times it really is edge-of-the-seat stuff, while at other times we are immersed in trying to figure out for ourselves just what is going on in Madeleine's psyche. When watching any Hitchcock film, it is important to remember the ...

A heady mix of dysfunction from an Old Master

Advantages: James Stewart as genteel middle aged obsessive, compulsive viewing
Disadvantages: Requires repeated viewings, may be slow and dated to some

...are ingeniously effective. The famous Vertigo camera shot is totally unlike anything you’ll see in movies of the period, whilst Scottie’s dream sequence will make your jaw drop with its graphic unsettlingness. The backdrops have a fantastic pulp comic look about them, the chase scene at the film’s start is set against the San Francisco skyline at night – high impact and attention grabbing. Casting wise the director coaxed a career defining moment ...

This film is far too subtle for that and may pass the individual with a short attention span by. Nonetheless is stands out for me as being thought provoking and ingeniously clever, unlike anything else of the time. Go watch it. ...

Hitchcock's Vertigo: Film as a Cultural Practice

Advantages: Brilliant classic
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit slow and dated

...Social Backdrop Vertigo was made in 1958, in the midst of great class, racial and gender revolutions in America. Victory in World War II had not brought to her people a feeling of triumph, but instead had created "a churning discomfort, an uncertainty about the future and a lack of clarity about the past" . The class and racial superiority the white Americans had been enjoying throughout history was challenged by new African Americans migrant . ...
...landmark film of the 50s Vertigo was born, embodying in it the epitome of Hitchcockery, the emotional trials of the American, and more. Film background Behind the makings of masterpiece Vertigo was the man who has been hailed as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. In the master's own words, the most intriguing of all is "a change of perspective within a shot" . His ingenuity is seen in technical innovations. A fine manifestation of this ...

The dizzy height of Hitchcock's success

Advantages: Suspenseful, beautifully filmed
Disadvantages: None for me

in mind the period in which the film was made, is quite amazing and is certainly memorable. The story is compelling from beginning to end. There is the riddle of Madeleine and her strange behaviour, then there is the knowledge that somehow Scottie's vertigo is going to affect the story, as well as the unrequited love between Midge and Scottie, all of which are intriguing and draw the viewer in to the film. For me though, the ending is the best part, because there is a twist in the tale - well several actually - that manages to surprise me each time. There are some good extras that accompany this version of the DVD. There is a half hour documentary on the painstaking process of cleaning up the film, which I found fascinating - thank goodness there are people that see the worth in doing this. Other extras include a feature commentary ...

Review of Vertigo (DVD)

Hello Hello... at a place called Vertigo

Advantages: Fantastic quality live show.
Disadvantages: Could feature more insight.

. The concert DVD contains footage from both the May 9th and 10th Chicago shows at the United Center directed by Hamish Hamilton, who previously worked with the band directing "Elevation 2001/Live From Boston" and "U2 Go Home - Live from Slane Castle." While the feel of "Vertigo 2005//U2 Live From Chicago" is very much in the same vein as the Elevation DVDs there are some notable differences. Having attended both of these shows in person I can attest that very little was has been dropped from the show itself, with the major exception of "Party Girl," a song that was performed both nights. In essence this is as close to actually being at a typical U2 show on the first leg of the Vertigo Tour as a fan can be without attending the show itself. The songs themselves get center stage in this concert DVD and while the audience's presence is all ...

Review of U2 - 2005 Vertigo - Live From Chicago (Deluxe) (DVD)

U2 At Their Finest With A Great Set-list

Advantages: Superb Show, Great Set List
Disadvantages: None

This DVD of the Chicago concert is possibly one of the finest performances ive seen from U2. I have been priviliged enough to see them in concert on the Vertigo Tour and watching this really does make the viewer feel as if they are there themselves. The lighting, the music and the camera work makes the DVD a fantastic viewing and really captures U2 well on stage. The set-list for the DVD, which is a mix of the latest How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb album all the way back to tracks from the debut album Boy, the way in which the songs just merge together makes the concert flow together beautifully. The lighting effects really do make this concert stand out from others, the fantastic 'pixel' wall behind them as they play show some outstanding images and with the different coloured lights flowing continuously throughout the concert, it ...
