Like Scottie and his phantasmic Madeleine, San Francisco just can't give up the ghost of Vertigo. And why should we? Our city has never been portrayed in as elegantly melancholic a fashion as in Hitchcock's 1958 romantic thriller. So, to mark Vertigo turning the big 5-0, one of the film's sweetest settings hosts a golden-anniversary screening. Peruse an exhibition of images of the film's featured locales as an artist paints a copy of the film's ghostly Carlotta portrait in real time. The pre-screening events wrap up with a presentation by Footsteps in the Fog: Alfred Hitchcock's San Francisco authors Jeff Kraft and Aaron Leventhal and a meal of mid-century fare worthy of Ernie's Restaurant.
