A local historian explains that Carlotta Valdes tragically committed suicide she had been the mistress of a wealthy married man and bore his child the otherwise childless man kept the child and cast Carlotta aside. Gavin reveals that Carlotta who he fears is possessing Madeleine is Madeleines great grandmother, although Madeleine has no knowledge of this, and does not remember the places she has visited. Scottie tails Madeleine to Fort Point and, when she leaps into the bay, he rescues her. The next day Scottie follows Madeleine they meet and spend the day together. They travel to Muir Woods and Cypress Point on 1. Mile Drive, where Madeleine runs down towards the ocean. Scottie grabs her and they embrace. Madeleine recounts a nightmare and Scottie identifies its setting as Mission San Juan Bautista, childhood home of Carlotta. He drives her there and they express their love for each other. Madeleine suddenly runs into the church and up the bell tower. Scottie, halted on the steps by his acrophobia, sees Madeleine plunge to her death. The death is declared a suicide. Gavin does not fault Scottie, but Scottie breaks down, becomes clinically depressed and is in a sanatorium, almost catatonic. After release, Scottie frequents the places that Madeleine visited, often imagining that he sees her. One day, he notices a woman who reminds him of Madeleine, despite her different appearance. Scottie follows her and she identifies herself as Judy Barton, from Salina, Kansas. A flashback reveals that Judy was the person Scottie knew as Madeleine Elster she was impersonating Gavins wife as part of a murder plot. Judy drafts a letter to Scottie explaining her involvement Gavin had deliberately taken advantage of Scotties acrophobia to substitute his wifes freshly killed body in the apparent suicide jump. But Judy rips up the letter and continues the charade, because she loves Scottie. They begin seeing each other, but Scottie remains obsessed with Madeleine, and asks Judy to change her clothes and hair so that she resembles Madeleine. After Judy complies, hoping that they may finally find happiness together, he notices her wearing the necklace portrayed in the painting of Carlotta, and realizes the truth, and that Judy had been Elsters mistress, before being cast aside just as Carlotta was. Scottie insists on driving Judy to the Mission. There, he tells her he must re enact the event that led to his madness, admitting he now understands that Madeleine and Judy are the same person. Scottie forces her up the bell tower and makes her admit her deceit. Scottie reaches the top, finally conquering his acrophobia. Judy confesses that Gavin paid her to impersonate a possessed Madeleine Gavin faked the suicide by throwing the body of his wife from the bell tower. Judy begs Scottie to forgive her, because she loves him. He embraces her, but a shadowed figure rises from the trapdoor of the tower, startling Judy, who steps backward and falls to her death. Scottie, bereft again, stands on the ledge, while the figure, a nun investigating the noise, rings the mission bell. Uncredited. Margaret Brayton as the Ransohoffs saleslady. Paul Bryar as Capt.

Critics have interpreted Vertigo variously as a tale of male aggression and visual control as a map of female Oedipal trajectory as a deconstruction of the male construction of femininity and of masculinity itself as a stripping bare of the mechanisms of directorial, Hollywood studio and colonial oppression and as a place where textual meanings play out in an infinite regress of self reflexivity. Critic James F. Maxfield suggested that Vertigo can be interpreted as a variant on the Ambrose Bierce short story An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge 1.

The screenplay is an adaptation of the French novel Dentre les morts From Among the Dead by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac. Hitchcock had attempted to buy the rights to the previous novel by the same authors, Celle qui ntait plus, but he failed, and it was made instead by Henri Georges Clouzot as Les Diaboliques. Although Franois Truffaut once suggested that Dentre les morts was specifically written for Hitchcock by Boileau and Narcejac,6 Narcejac subsequently denied that this was their intention. However, Hitchcocks interest in their work meant that Paramount Pictures commissioned a synopsis of Dentre les morts in 1. English. 8Hitchcock originally hired playwright Maxwell Anderson to write a screenplay, but rejected his work, which was entitled Darkling, I Listen, a quotation from Keatss. Ode to a Nightingale. A second version, written by Alec Coppel, again left the director dissatisfied. The final script was written by Samuel A. Taylorwho was recommended to Hitchcock due to his knowledge of San Francisco8 from notes by Hitchcock. Among Taylors creations was the character of Midge. Taylor attempted to take sole credit for the screenplay, but Coppel protested to the Screen Writers Guild, which determined that both writers were entitled to a credit.
