A detective with acrophobia is hired to investigate the strange behaviour of an old friend's wife. As if that premise isn't bizarre enough, the aforementioned detective must now overcome both his obsession with the case, as well as his acrophobia, to prevent his own personal downfall. In this episode, we revisit one of Alfred Hitchcock's most popular works, Vertigo, and discuss how in 1958 it became one of the most groundbreaking thrillers of its time.
