...that gets better and better the more times you see it. It is also one of those films that is best seen on a big screen in a movie theater. I've seen nearly all of Hitchcock's films, and "Vertigo" is my favorite.Jeffery
Follow Ups:
What do you think of the resorers using "modern" sound effects for the recent restoration? They chose a higher quality print(s) and
were then stuck with some incomplete sound tracks.I myself had no problem about the choices they made.
I didn't really get into "Vertigo" until after the restoration, so I have no opinion about the sound effects. I haven't heard the originals, and I do not find the ones in the restored version distracting at all.My one complaint about the restoration is that there are one or two very short segments that were not restored (the same applies to the restored "Parapluies de Cherbourg"). Maybe they were unable to find good quality original film? The unrestored bits really stick out.

Which parts? The flower shop?
There's a scene in Judy's apartment where suddenly the film becomes grainy and the colors faded. Very brief, but noticeable. The flower shop scene does seem a bit out of whack, but I think part of that may be caused by all of the reflections (mirrors and windows everywhere) and the intentionally fuzzy cinematography (dream sequence-like).You know, one Hitchcock film I hope to see revived is "Marnie." Some shoddy production values (the rear-screen projections, in particular, are very poorly done), but it is a fascinating film and unfairly dismissed by critics, IMHO.
