Synopsis
Though one would be hard-pressed to agree on the most acclaimed, legendary, or famous of Alfred Hitchcock's classic films, VERTIGO is the one that has certainly inspired the most cult-like obsession from film buffs. Mysterious and gripping, it brilliantly problematizes notions of time, space, and identity. Dan Auiler's detailed tome tracks the ups and downs of the making of a unique cinematic experience, containing interviews with people involved with the film, analyses of early script drafts, storyboard sketches, and production notes. The foreward is written by the always enthusiastic Martin Scorsese.

Industry Reviews
"Auiler's book is an act of historical restoration, done out of true love. He pays tribute to Hitchcock by saving the story behind his masterwork form either derision or idolatry. Like Harris and Katz before him, he removes the petty distortion that comes with age and lets us see the thing itself in all of its confounding glory."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Michael Sragow (07/26/1998)
"This book assumes the film's worth and through well-researched explication of its subtleties leads even skeptics to understand it, too."
