In this classic Alfred Hitchcock film we follow the story of a man (James Stewart) on his mission to get over his fear of vertigo. To be honest this film is hard to follow in terms of its strange sound effects and dodgey visual effecrs. However, considering the film was made 50 years ago, its not hard to se why Alfred Hitchcock has gone down in the history books as one of the best directors of all time. A good enjoyable film.
