A Thrilling Feminist Reading of Hitchcock's Vertigo for Stage 5 (ETA)

Vertigo with its haunting mysteries, crime action sequences, psychological underpinnings, dry comedy and careful
construction, has largely withstood the ravages of Hollywood's rapid aging process. It is always my pick over other Hitchcock thrillers that often leave world-weary film literate teenagers laughing rather than scared, such as Psycho or The Birds. It is the frightening intensity of Jimmy Stewart's portrayal of Scottie's obsession with an ideal woman that repulses and intrigues students, and makes this film a good tool for introducing feminist readings.
