Considered one of Alfred Hitchcock's greatest cinematic achievements, Vertigo is a dreamlike thriller from the Master of Suspense. Set in San Francisco, the film creates a dizzying web of mistaken identity, passion and murder after an acrophobic detective (James Stewart) rescues a mysterious blonde (Kim Novak) from the bay and must unravel the secrets of the past to find the key to his future. Recognized for excellence in AFI's 100 Years…100 Movies, Vertigo is a "great motion picture that demands multiple viewings" (Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide).
Double feature with the San Francisco premiere of Kim Novak’s Vertigo at 5 PM. A new documentary celebrating the life and career of Vertigo star Kim Novak.
