Widely considered one of Alfred Hitchcock’s greatest cinematic achievements, the dreamlike, mesmerizing Vertigo returns to movie theaters across the country in celebration of its 60th anniversary on Sunday, March 18, and Wednesday, March 21, as part of the yearlong TCM Big Screen Classics Longtime fans and moviegoers who have never experienced the film’s dark secrets will be dazzled by the unforgettable sights and sounds of Vertigo.
The San Francisco-set thriller is a unique combination of ghost story, mystery and romance. James Stewart stars as John “Scottie” Ferguson, a detective with a crippling fear of heights who is hired to trail – but falls in love with – the secretive Madeleine Elster (Kim Novak). When he witnesses Madeleine fall to her death, Scottie is despondent … until he crosses paths with a woman who seems eerily familiar. With a haunting score by Bernard Herrmann, Vertigo is a cinematic milestone that has lost none of its ability to captivate audiences six decades after it was made.
To further unravel the enigma of Vertigo, TCM host Eddie Muller will present newly produced commentary both before and after the film.
