Vertigo is a 1958 American psychological thriller directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock. Based on the 1954 novel D'entre les morts by Boileau-Narcejac, it stars James Stewart as a retired San Francisco police detective with an extreme fear of heights who investigates the unusual behavior of an acquaintance's wife, played by Kim Novak. It was the first film to use the dolly zoom to convey the character's acrophobia.
