“Vertigo,” 1958

Movie Poster Monday is back! Today’s entry celebrates the new “greatest film of all time:” Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 thriller “Vertigo.”

The British Film Institute’s Sight & Sound poll voted the James Stewart and Kim Novak starrer into the #1 spot ahead of perennial winner “Citizen Kane.” The poll results combined answers from 846 critics.

The poster, designed by Saul Bass, strongly recalls the era’s mid-century modern design.
