1. ALFRED HITCHCOCK BLAMED JIMMY STEWART FOR\u00a0VERTIGO<\/em>\u2019S FAILURE.
\n<\/strong>Marred by mixed reviews, the $2.5 million\u00a0Vertigo<\/em>\u00a0did comparatively less than Hitchcock\u2019s previous movies, and was widely\u00a0r<\/a>ecognized as a failure. Frustrated with its reception, Hitchcock partly blamed star Jimmy Stewart\u2019s aging appearance. At the time of filming, Stewart\u2014who had starred in Hitchcock\u2019s three previous films\u2014was 50 years old which, according to the director, was\u00a0too<\/em>\u00a0old to convincingly play then-25-year-old Kim Novak\u2019s love interest.<\/h4>\n<\/h4>\n
5. AN UNCREDITED CAMERAMAN CAME UP WITH THE FAMOUS “VERTIGO EFFECT.”
\n<\/strong>According to associate producer Herbert Coleman, it wasn\u2019t Hitchcock who came up with the film\u2019s famous camera technique (which essentially involves zooming forward while pulling the camera backward); rather, it was an uncredited second unit cameraman, Irwin Roberts. \u201cHe didn\u2019t get screen credit on\u00a0Vertigo<\/em>\u00a0because they gave the screen credit to another close friend of ours [Wallace Kelley] who did all the process work on the stage,\u201d\u00a0Coleman said.<\/h4>\n<\/h4>\n
9. ALFRED HITCHCOCK CHANGED THE SETTING FROM PARIS TO SAN FRANCISCO.
\n<\/strong>The French source novel,\u00a0D’entre les Morts<\/em>, was set in Paris, but Hitchcock believed that San Francisco was more interesting. As\u00a0noted<\/a>\u00a0by Auiler, with the city’s vertiginous streets and hilly landscape, the location perfectly matched the film\u2019s themes. In a city where there were such extreme physical highs and lows, awful for anyone with acrophobia, Scottie\u2019s vertigo became a character in and of itself.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
