Pros: Innovative camera work, well-done, evocative score, restored DVD Cons: People read too much that is not there into this film.
"Beam Me Up, Scotty; No Intelligent Life Down Here." Capt. Kirk "There's one born every minute." P. T. Barnum " ... you can't fool all of the people all of the time." Abraham Lincoln Vertigo (1958) is one of the so-called "lost ...
Pros: Great plot twist, directorial innovation, symbollic themes Cons: None
Released in 1958, Vertigo opened to fairly mixed reviews and wasn’t a box office success. Locked away into the archives by Hitchcock it wouldn’t be rereleased until 25 years later. Absence certainly made the heart grow fonder, and Vertigo is ...
Pros: Practically everything Cons: The plot drags a bit
It has been said that during the 1950s, Hitchcock was really making a name for himself. Having directed films such as Strangers on a Train, Rear Window and Dial M for Murder, Hitchcock was on his way to some big money, despite...
Pros: The first half is interesting Cons: The second half is bad, bad, bad
I have only seen a couple of Hitchcock's films, and frankly, I've been less then impressed. They've been overrated and just plain weird. Recently, I've decided I need to give him another chance, so I set out to watch a few more Hitchcock films. Since ...
Pros: Excellent photography, Bernard Hermann score Cons: Not for the impatient
How does one go about recommending this great film, a film I consider to be Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece? "Vertigo" is certainly one of the great romantic classics from one of Hollywood's greatest directors, the master of suspense himself. Not a...
Pros: Great cinematography; fantastic location shots/scenery; extraordinary background, perception shots Cons: Dated pre-special effects innovations, one or two attempts at conveying character's inner turmoil comes off a bit cheesy
Hailed as unparalleled, a masterpiece, one of the best films, ever. At the time it was made and first released, it was dismissed by most reviewers; called dark, unrealistic, unacceptable for the average movie-goer by critics. What it was...
Pros: A moody, mesmerizing tone poem that draws us repeatedly back to a precipice of madness. Cons: It's not a film to be analyzed in terms of logic or a realistic plot.
Perhaps one should not make crude puns about a great motion picture, but my title here is one I'm sure the master suspense director, Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980), in an unguarded moment, might have appreciated, in private if not in public. From his ...
Pros: Photography, Sound Track, Stewart Cons: Pace, and becomes a little long after the 20th viewing
I am going to go out on a limb here and say I don't think this is the best Hitchcock flick I have ever seen. While it has an intriguing story line and features one of my favorite old timers, Jimmy Stewart, it does not create the excitement of the...
Pros: Suspenseful, Enigmatic, Atmospheric Cons: A little dated now
Vertigo (1958) stars James Stewart as John Ferguson, known as Scottie to his acquaintances, a retired San Francisco detective. Scottie retired from the force after a rooftop scene in which a colleague of his died, the trauma and guilt leaving Scottie...
Pros: Direction is flawless, Stewart is unbelievable, emotion is raw Cons: almost too personal, lacks his usual pace
Hitchcock was an astounding director, in my opinion the greatest of all time. He surpasses both Spielberg and Scorsese effortlessly, his imprint on cinema could be no more huge. But is Vertigo, considered my most critics to be his most personal and ...
"Vertigo" is one of the first films to seriously examine the odd relationship of the actor to the audience (especially the female actor to a male audience), and it’s so intellectually interesting and visually...
Pros: fantastic story, very complex plot Cons: none..
Vertigo is a film filled with intense scenes of psychological play on words, actions and characters.
This film by Hitchcock is filled with beautiful passages of love, trickery and fate.
I highly enjoyed watching Vertigo for the first time...
