On this day in 1958, Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo premiered at the Stage Door Theater in San Francisco. Starring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak, Vertigo is regarded as one of Hitchcock’s finest, and is one of our favorites, so we decided to make it our film of the month.
All day we will be posting facts, thoughts, and articles about Vertigo. Join the fun by commenting with any Vertigo-related photos or fun facts!
“[The] secret [of the film] is so clever, even though it is devilishly far-fetched.”
–New York Times
“Hitchcock has never made a thriller more stately and deliberate in technique”
-Sight and Sound
“Vertigo is prime though uneven Hitchcock… Stewart, on camera almost constantly throughout the film’s 126 minutes, comes through with a startlingly fine performance as the lawyer-cop who suffers from acrophobia—that is, vertigo or dizziness in high places.”
–Variety
Happy Vertigo day everyone!
