Vertigo

Rated PG, 130 min. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring James Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Fri., Nov. 15, 1996

One of the director's greatest, if not best, works, Vertigo stands as one of the thrill master's most psychologically dense and twisted works in which obsession, commitment, and dual identities all merge to create a voluptuous tale of thwarted love. In a recent restoration, the Bernard Herrmann soundtrack was digitized and re-recorded, creating a crisp new musical element that includes sounds and effects not even heard during the original 1958 release.
