| Critics have hailed Vertigo as legendary film director Alfred Hitchcock's ultimate masterpiece. This haunting tale of obsession, fear and murder stars Hitchcock's favourite leading man, Jimmy Stewart, as a troubled detective pathologically afraid of heights and obsessed with a lost love and her look-alike. Kim Novak gives the performance of her career as the bizarre heroine in what is felt to be ''The Master's" most humane yet frightening feature because it works on a psychological rather than emotional level. Unavailable for viewing for over two decades due to legal entanglements, this Hitchcock shocker still retains it's unparalleled impact thanks to the director's peerless and meticulous craftsmanship. |
