It was produced in 1958 and written by Samuel Taylor and Alec Coppel who adapted it from a novel by Narcejac.

The narrative of the movie is filled with twists and turns making it prime viewing. As a result Vertigo is up there with some of the greatest films of all time.
The central protagonist of the movie, Scottie, is a detective who witnesses a traumatic death of his colleague. The image haunts him and this is when his vertigo begins which has symptoms of aversion to heights. He takes early retirement and ends his days as a detective until an old college chum, Gavin, pleads for his help in a private case.
This is the catalyst for the driving force of the movie. Gavin asks Scottie to investigate his wife Madeleine whom he fears is losing her mind. She is obsessed with a dead woman named Carlotta Valdes and reenacts the same journey each day as a kind of pilgrimage to Carlotta.
Scottie continues to follow Madeleine and sees her jump into the bay at Fort Point. He prevents her from taking her own life, they form a rapport and she tells him that she is afraid that she is going insane. She has a recurring dream that plagues her.
They figure out that this landmark is in a small town, San Juan Bautista and Madeleine is convinced to face her fears and see if this can stop the nightmares. When they arrive she flees to the top of the tower. Scottie's vertigo will not allow him to climb higher. He hears a scream and witnesses a body land at the bottom.
After her death, he finds it hard to recover. He searches the places they used to visit and one day he meets a Madeleine doppelganger, a young woman named Judy. He is so desperately in love and missing Madeleine that he asks Judy to dress like her. The similarity between them is uncanny.
A twist arises when Carlotta Valdes' necklace is spotted on Judy. Scottie figures out that they are the same and he decides to confront her with the truth.
He revisits San Juan Bautista with Judy determined to get the truth. He finds out that they are the same woman. The whole thing was a plot to murder Gavin's first wife, the woman that actually fell from the bell tower.
As the couple argue, a nun appears and Judy is frightened by this and plummets down from the bell tower onto the tiles below. Scottie recovers from the vertigo.
This movie is suspenseful and all lovers of thrillers and mysteries will enjoy the nail biting plot that will keep you guessing until the end.
