Synopsis:
Considered by many to be director Alfred Hitchcock`s greatest achievement comes this fully restored and remastered version of the haunting film classic. This special release also contains a restoration trailer and revealing documentary footage.
Set in San Francisco, James Stewart portrays an agrophobic detective hired to trail a friend`s suicidal wife (Novak). After he successfully rescues her from a leap into the bay, he finds himself becoming obsessed with the beautifully troubled woman.
One of cinema`s most chillingly romantic endeavers - it`s a fascinating myriad of haunting camera angles shot among some of San Francisco`s renowned landmarks. This film is a must for collectors; Leonard Maltin gives Vertigo four stars and hails it as "A genuinely great motion picture that demands multiple viewings."
