Plot
Critics have hailed Vertigo as 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. This haunting Hitchcock shocker still retains it's unparalleled impact thanks to the director's peerless and meticulous craftsmanship.
