 | | In 1958, Hitchcock released Vertigo, a film many consider to be his masterpiece. |
 | | In Vertigo, for instance, "Carlotta Valdes" is a MacGuffin; She never appears and the details of her death are unimportant to the viewer, but the story about her ghost's haunting of Madeleine Elster is the spur for Scottie's investigation of her, and hence the film's entire plot. |
 | | Vertigo explores more frankly and at greater length his interest in the relation between sex and death. |
