From TPD:
On Saturday September 28st 2013, TPD Centre will host next session of Two Thumbs Up Movie programme. We will screen Vertigo (1958), directed by Afred Hitchcock.
About Vertigo:
Vertigo is a 1958 psychological thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock based on the 1954 novel D’entre les morts by Boileau-Narcejac. The screenplay was written by Alec Coppel and Samuel A. Taylor.
The film stars James Stewart as former police detective John “Scottie” Ferguson, who has been forced into early retirement due to suffering vertigo and clinical depression incurred in the line of duty. Scottie is hired as a private investigator to follow a woman, Madeleine Elster (Kim Novak) who is behaving peculiarly.
Attracting significant scholarly criticism, it replaced Citizen Kane as the best film of all time in the 2012 Sight & Soundcritics’ poll and has appeared repeatedly in best film polls by the American Film Institute. In 1996, Vertigo underwent a major restoration to create a new 70mm print and DTS soundtrack.
