V is for “Vertigo.”
Based on “The Living and the Dead,” a 1954 suspense novel by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac, Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” hit movie theaters in 1958.
James Stewart portrayed Scottie Ferguson, a retired police officer with a fear of heights, who was hired to trail a contact’s wife. The story-line, of course, led Ferguson to dizzying heights.
The “Vertigo” cast included Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes, Raymond Bailey, Ellen Corby, Fred Graham, Tom Helmore and Henry Jones. Here’s the preview/trailer:

Thanks to the fact that it starred Jimmy Stewart, this was one of the few Hitchcock movies I saw growing up. Not as good as the Mel Brooks parody, High Anxiety, though!
