Movie Reviews of Vertigo (Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Fascinating and creepy...
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie started out a bit boring, but once Stewart's character meets Novak's character, it takes off from there. The plot centers around a man who wants Stewart to follow Novak, saying she's his wife and that she's possessed by the spirit of a woman who committed suicide 100 years before. Needless to say, Stewart falls in love with Novak, and she with him. She runs to her death, and he ends up a different man. But a year later, he spots a mysterious woman who looks a great deal like his lost love, and he makes her over to have the same appearance. Then he catches a mistake on her part, and sets out to get the truth from her. I won't give it all away, but the ending has a real twist and a morbid ending. The actors are all excellent, and there are things the viewer doesn't see coming. This is a movie that truly deserves 5 stars.
Summary of Vertigo (Collector's Edition)
Although it wasn't a box-office success when originally released in 1958, Vertigo has since taken its deserved place as Alfred Hitchcock's greatest, most spellbinding, most deeply personal achievement. In fact, it consistently ranks among the top 10 movies ever made in the once-a-decade Sight & Sound international critics poll, placing at number 4 in the most recent survey. (Universal Pictures' spectacularly gorgeous 1996 restoration and rerelease of this 1958 Paramount production was a tremendous success with the public, too.) James Stewart plays a retired police detective who is hired by an old friend to follow his wife (a superb Kim Novak, in what becomes a double role), whom he suspects of being possessed by the spirit of a dead madwoman. The detective and the disturbed woman fall ("fall" is indeed the operative word) in love and...well, to give away any more of the story would be criminal. Shot around San Francisco (the Golden Gate Bridge and the Palace of the Legion of Honor are significant locations) and elsewhere in Northern California (the redwoods, Mission San Juan Batista) in rapturous Technicolor, Vertigo is as lovely as it is haunting. --Jim EmersonDrama DVD Video
