SYNOPSIS

35mm print (1996 restoration)! In Vertigo, the vibrant rendering of the Oscar-nominated art direction aids in the overwhelming impact of this vividly realized psychological thriller. In the picture’s most memorable scenes, Kim Novak’s mysterious Madeleine is associated with green through costuming and her surroundings, such as her car and apartment. Shooting on Eastman stock and printing in Technicolor, director Alfred Hitchcock used the color to symbolize the growing obsession of private investigator Scottie (James Stewart) with Madeleine. The original costume is on display in Color in Motion at the Academy Museum, worn by Novak and created by renowned costume designer Edith Head, reflects a modern, relaxed character juxtaposed to the austere woman Scottie thought he knew.
