The Lindsay Theater
Summer Classic Series continues at 7 p.m. Aug. 8 with “Vertigo,” ranked as the No.1 greatest film ever made in a much-talked-about 2012 poll conducted by the British Film Institute’s magazine Sight and Sound. Starring Indiana, Pa., native Jimmy Stewart as a private detective terrified of heights, “Vertigo” is “classic (Alfred) Hitchcock —suspense, mystery, romance, all wrapped around twisted human psychology,” says Big Think. Hired by an old friend to tail his wife, who is suspected to be suicidal, the private eye develops a relationship with this mysterious woman that turns into obsession.
