On May 9th, 1958, Alfred Hitchcock's film, "Vertigo", was released to U.S. theaters! The script was based on the 1954 novel, "D'entre les morts" by Boileau-Narcejac, and stars James Stewart and Kim Novak. "Vertigo" was the first film to use the "dolly zoom" camera effect, which distorts perspective to create disorientation. Upon release, the film received mixed reviews, but soon came to be considered Hitchcock's greatest film. It grossed $7.3 million on a $2.5 million production budget, and is now considered one of the greatest films of all time!
