Ranked by AFI as the greatest mystery film in the American canon, VERTIGO (1958) features the talents of two recipients of the AFI Life Achievement Award – producer/director Alfred Hitchcock and star James Stewart. In addition to ranking among the greatest American films of all time – on both the American Film Institute’s original list and the 10th Anniversary edition – VERTIGO appears among the art form’s greatest thrillers and greatest love stories, with the haunting score by Bernard Herrmann also earning a place among AFI’s accounting of the greatest film soundtracks in cinema history.
