In Sight and Sound magazine's 2012 poll of the greatest films of
all time, Vertigo placed at the top of the list, supplanting
Citizen Kane. A favorite among critics, it also made the American
Film Institute's 100 Years, 100 Movies where it ranked in the top
10. Often regarded as Hitchcock's most personal work, the film
explores such themes as obsession, exploitation, and voyeurism. In
The San Francisco of Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo: Place, Pilgrimage,
and Commemoration, Douglas A. Cunningham has assembled provocative
essays that examine the uniquely integrated relationship that the
1958 film enjoys with the histories and cultural imaginations of
California and, more specifically, the San Francisco Bay Area.
Contributors to this collection ponder a number of topics such as
the ways in which Vertigo resurrects the narratives of San
Francisco's violent past; how sightseeing informs the act of
watching the film; the significance that landmarks in the film hold
in our collective cultural memory; and the variety of ways in which
Vertigo enthusiasts commemorate the film. The essays also ask
larger questions about the specificities of place and the role such
specificities play in our comprehensive efforts to understand this
layered and seminal film. Because of its interdisciplinary
approach, The San Francisco of Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo will have
a broad appeal to scholars of film, anthropology, geography, ethnic
studies, the history of California and the West, tourism, and, of
course, anyone with an abiding interest in the work of Alfred
Hitchcock.
