Alfred Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' premiered in San Francisco 65 years ago today. The film broke even at the box office but upon its original release earned significantly less than other Hitchcock productions.

Starring James Stewart, Kim Novak and Barbara Bel Geddes, this classic suspense drama is now widely considered one of the greatest films ever made.
