There are times when we're aware that Vertigo was written for a different audience during an earlier era, but this doesn't necessarily detract from the film going experience; rather, it helps place the movie in its proper historical context.
Vertigo opens with a short prologue that details the circumstances under which Detective John Ferguson (James Stewart) develops an acute case of acrophobia that leads to vertigo whenever he climbs a steep flight of stairs or gets more than a few feet above the ground.
But even love is not enough to overcome John's vertigo, and he is unable to save her from a fall from the top of a church bell tower.

 "Vertigo" - Movie Review by Macabre Stalker (Ray Bonilla)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
However, Vertigo's status as a classic stems as much from Jimmy Stewart's inspired portrayal of an man obsessed with a woman as it does for Hitchcock's artful handling of a twisted and crafty tale of deception, disorientation, and death.
The infatuations and fixations one who is obsessed bears are dangerous portals into a realm of non-reality, where their fantasy love prompts compulsive, irrational, and often dangerous (for both the obsessor and obsessee) acts to prove their distorted concept of love.
For a Hitchcock film, it was a commercial failure (which is something Jimmy Stewart is not unfamiliar with); it received damning feedback from critics; and it was lost in cinematic oblivion for years and years when Hitchcock re-purchased the rights and negatives to it and bequeathed them to his daughter.
