Vertigo (1959)

Sixty-two years ago today, the film Vertigo premiered. There is a lot to love about this film: Alfred Hitchcock, James Stewart, Kim Novak, Edith Head, Saul Bass, San Francisco. When I was living in San Francisco, I used to set my walks places to include famous landmarks and/or locations of famous films. I would walk by Scottie’s apartment building whenever possible and it was fairly east to do because it is one block downhill on Lombard from the famous block. There’s a wall in front of it now, but glimpses are still possible. This film is another one I first watched as a kid. It seemed intense then and maybe even a bit confusing, but watching it recently, it is so very beautifully stylish, but still disturbing. You have to watch this film.
