OMG, I can't stand it, I've just finished watching this piece of shit after a lot of pauses and fastforwards. I so want to slap that bitch on the face and cut off detective's balls. The characters are definetely sooo losers. I've seen 8 Hitchcock's movies and now I can state that the more I watch his movies the more I get disappointed. Why love fucks it up all the time?! Now I'm going to put myself together and try to recover some neurons that died by watching the pile of poor quality shit.
This movie was listed as the best Hitchcock's movie, but I think it's the worst one. The crime is kind of nice, but then you realize that the main characters are ridiculous. Both detective and that woman are such terrible wuss. He is in blind in love like a dumb without any goal and she doesn't do her own will. Yet, where does he get the money to live if he doesn't work?! Hitchcock had nice ideas, but love is always the reason of all problems in his movies, it's so fucked up.
I integrate Vertigo and a bunch of other Hitchcock classics in my original song "Here's To Alfred Hitchcock," viewable right here on YouTube. Just click on my name below or search "CraigASilver."
Although it's said that this film is about 'obsession' (losing sight of the actual reality of things), I'd say that this film is also about angst / anxiety. The main character faces his anxiety and overcomes it at the end of the film, and the film is therefore a very transgressive one. A psychological masterpiece.

Kim Novak later confessed that she fell in love with Jimmy Stewart during the making of this movie. Stewart was married and an honorable man, but the chemistry between them is palpable. Stewart's emotional intensity in the last scene is compelling. This movie stands above Rear Window and Psycho.
Wow you wanna comment a 5th time? Shut the fuck up, we get that you're an obnoxious twat. Stewarts one of the greatest actors of all time. Your opinion is invalid. Get the fuck off this video you cunt. Stop wasting our time.
To me, L.B. "Jeff" Jeffries (Rear Window, 1954) and John "Scottie" Ferguson (Vertigo, 1958) are close cousins in characters, because their obsessions and curiosities get the better of them, and almost get them killed. They both also have their own confinements, in which Jeffries is confined to the ground by a wheelchair because of a broken leg, and Ferguson is confined to the ground because of his fear of heights. Stewart portrays both characters FLAWLESSLY.
What terror? What suspense? This was a great movie but there was nothing scary or suspenseful about it! It was just a dark romance story. Nothing more.
i know that but they treat it like it has the most suspenseful moments. When I think suspenseful I think Psycho. And considering Hitchcock did both films, I guess my expectations were a bit too high...still not that 'scary' but a great movie nonetheless
@curtithird I think ur right about it not being scary. I think it was more creepy. REALLY. Creepy. And awesome. But in Psycho u know the girl's gonna get killed in that shower scene
I've never understood why this movie was trashed upon initial release, yet Gigi, an incredibly average movie in comparison, somehow managed to win best picture that same year. I'm so glad critics have finally accepted it as one of cinema's great masterpieces. I love James Stewart's floating head.
@TheRealAlekHidell I never understand things like that. Like why weren't Vertigo, Blade Runner and a ton of other movies regarded as masterpieces when they came out? I love those movies. I don't see how you could watch any one of them and say "Yeah, it was ok."
Many thanks for sharing! I'll never forget my shock when the screen went black after the finale as I watched Vertigo in its first re-releaser in the 80s... It made such an impact on my that I had to travel to San Francisco and look for the filming locations - see attached video...
Fun Fact: This was the film that first popularized the "dolly zoom," where the camera is moved away from the subject while the lens zooms in, or vice versa. The effect is that the subject retains its relative size and position in the frame while the background shifts forward or backward, which disorients the viewer, in this case to create the effect of vertigo itself.
Fascinating to think that this movie bombed when it was originally released--even the critics disliked it. Now it's acknowledged--rightfully, I think--as his masterpiece, or at least one of them.
Hitchcock was a genius from the very beginning with his silent films like The Lodger and The Farmer's Wife, but this and movies like North by Northwest, Rear Window, Psycho, To Catch a Theif, and The Birds were my favorites of his. Everything is perfect. The acting, the script, the setting, the suspense etc. James Stewart is fantastic in everything too. A timeless classic.
Because it has everything, Sergio -- Great story, great suspense, intense romance, incredible music, great mystery, more than one shocking twist... It's fantastic. See it!
that scene is when he first sees her at ernie's, but you're right, i've never seen her look at the camera! it was probably only for the trailer since looking at the camera would have been a cinematic technique for hitch letting us in on their secrets, just as us seeing her profile at first is also a symbol of us only seeing half of her life.
Worst movie ever? Vertigo has been praised by audiences for years and is one of the most critically acclaimed films of the 20th century, behind only Citizen Kane and The Godfather. I can hardly see how that qualifies it as the "worst movie ever"...
Awesome amazing film.
