Film Vertigo (1958)

  • Vertigo_large

Like Scottie and his phantasmic Madeleine, San Francisco just can't give up the ghost of Vertigo. And why should we? Has our city ever been portrayed in as rapturously melancholic and formally elegant a fashion as in Hitchcock's 1958 romantic thriller? So, on the film's 50th anniversary, the only movie house in San Francisco worthy of competing with Kim Novak's beauty rolls out a gorgeous 70mm print. Lose yourself once again in Bernard Herrmann's haunting score, the green glow of the Empire Hotel's neon sign, the whorl of a blond chignon, and the terrifying heights to which desire can drive a man.
