Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958) | Filming Locations (SF Bay Area) | GH5

Some shots of real locations depicted in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (1958) as they appeared in July of 2021.

Inspired by Northern California’s unique culture and mysterious past, the "Master of Suspense" filmed the majority of his film Vertigo in and around the San Francisco Bay Area in 1957 (Source: https://bit.ly/2SZu5Fp). Perhaps more than any other of his films, Vertigo demonstrates the importance the act of sightseeing played in the director's creative process. Receiving mixed reviews at the time of its release, the picture was later nominated by critics, programmers and curators from around the world as the greatest film of all time in Sight and Sound's 2012 worldwide opinion poll (conducted every ten years) - ending the 50-year reign of Citizen Kane (Source: https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-time).
