Vertigo

(1958)

You shouldn’t keep souvenirs of a killing…

We’re back to Vertigo! The last time we watched this one, it was late summer of 2021, deep in the AFI’s Top 100 list. Top ten, in fact. Seems like an age ago, and yet, the movie took us right back there. It’s still great, undeniably one of Hitch’s absolute best; probably the closest he ever got to a proper film noir, stunningly shot in San Francisco, a spectacular sound track, some neat camera work, A-list cast, and a screenplay the zips and zig-zags. A true classic. Enjoy!
