GreenCine Says: There are a ton of great (and some not so great) films set in San Francisco, but inarguably one of the greatest is Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, likely the master director's most debated and analyzed film. Featuring one of Jimmy Stewart's finest - and most anguished - performances (the way he says "you were a very apt pupil" still creeps us out), the film is one mystery wrapped inside another, a brilliant study of obsession. And, as if that weren't enough, it's a fabulous glimpse at 1950s San Francisco, from the Palace of the Legion of Honor to Nob Hill, Mission to Dolores to (famously) Fort Point at the Golden Gate Bridge. The film demands multiple viewings and will stay with you forever.

The film enjoyed a major print restoration several years back and the DVD features commentary by the restoration team (Robert A. Harris and James C. Katz), with other Vertigo chiming in as well: co-Screenwriter Samuel Taylor, Kim Novak, Patricia Hitchcock, Peggy Robertson, Henry Bumstead, Herbert Steinberg and Bernard Herrmann's biographer Steven Smith.
