VERTIGO (1958) 20197

Original Paramount Pictures Scene Lobby Card (11x14) for the Alfred Hitchcock mystery thriller masterpiece, VERTIGO (1958) starring James Stewart, Kim Novak, and Barbara Bel Geddes. This Hitchcock classic tells the story of a former San Francisco detective (Stewart) suffering from acrophobia who investigates the strange activities of an old friend's wife, all the while becoming dangerously obsessed with her. Hitchcock creates some of his most hypnotic scenes in this film as well as a general sense of unease and dread, even in seemingly banal situations. Bernard Herrmann's excellent score is a perfect compliment to this complex and suspenseful story. The score is perhaps more important here than in most films because much of the story is told simply with Stewart's and Novak's facial expressions and the music. Stewart gives one of the best performances of his career, and Novak is completely convincing in her dual roles. This original scene lobby card is in fine plus condition, with only some minor smudging and staining in the borders.
