Watch Vertigo For Free

Truly Dreadful Film

Thanks for the memories!

Strong and Moving!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

If I had a time machine, I would have loved to travel in time and have dinner with Alfred Hitchcock. If then why, Stan Lee must have been inspired by the cameo roles of Hitchcock in his own films that he decided to peg it. This is such a classic and to see Mr. 'Nice Guy James Stewart out of his usual mister nice guy roles, this is a good movie. There is such élégance to the ladies and gents of the late fifties early sixties, and James as an acrophobic guy who fell victim to Kim Novak's charm and was the fall guy to masquerade a criminal scheme is very humane in his portrayal. And for a bombshell, Kim can act. For all those who have the patience for traditional suspense, this is a movie one should put in his or hers to watch list.

Vertigo directed by Alfred Hitchcock is a crime drama which surrounds one retired detective who is asked to take on one last task. The task is to follow his college friend's wife due to her recent bizarre behaviour. And from that point the audience is taken on such a captivating and unexpected journey. Vertigo is simply incredible. Everything in the film is still outstanding. The cinematography, music, acting and script are some of the best ever. What I love particularly is how unpredictable it is. The movie takes such incredible turns, which really compels the audience even further. The sinister tone of the movie is so magnetic, as the feelings and emotions remain with you beyond the credits. The film ends with such a high, confirming why it is one of the most memorable movie experiences in history. My only issue is the first act, which at times can feel quite slow due to that fact that audience doesn't have that emotional attachment to the characters and story yet. Although the film progresses and builds brilliantly. Vertigo will forever be timeless so therefore I give it a 9.

At the time of Vertigo's release, very few critics commented upon Bernard Herrmann's powerful music score which contributes so greatly to the movie's overall mood, atmosphere and almost unnerving suspense. The stars also were not given their due. In the most emotionally complex and technically demanding role of his career, James Stewart is totally convincing. He looks and acts like a man obsessed, a readily identifiable hero battling with age and infirmity to recreate an impossible, lost love. Stewart is not only utterly credible, but engrossingly sympathetic. On the other hand, Kim Novak (in by far the best performance of her career - she replaced Hitch's first choice, Vera Miles, at short notice when Vera became pregnant) combines a brassily self-confident manner with an odd aura of vulnerability. She is exactly the lost child of Stewart's obsessive dreams.

The story line is decent.As always,the lead character is working well regarding the technique and his deep character.But The last scene is a little bit extra.I guess It isn't needed.The director created the last scene just because of finishing it.
