SHOT IN S.F. DOUBLE FEATURE
VERTIGO 7:00
Early-retired San Francisco policeman James Stewart is asked to follow a friend’s wife who is prone to mysterious absences. As his detecting soon turns to obsession, the film builds to dizzying heights of duplicity, derangement, and delusion. Alfred Hitchcock’s immortal masterpiece is his most powerful and personal work, and for decades has been challenging viewers to decode its multiple layers of symbolism. Co-starring Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes and Bernard Herrmann’s indelible music score. Voted the Greatest Film of All Time by Sight & Sound magazine, dethroning the long-standing Citizen Kane. (1958, 129 min, 35mm)
