The film would cast James Stewart and Kim Novak in the lead roles. It is the first film to use the dolly-zoom (camera effect to distort perspective to give a dizzying effect) which is now known as the Vertigo effect. The film used extensive on location shooting in San Francisco and would become a love letter to this American city. The final script would be written by Samuel A Taylor (Sabrina Fair, Legend). 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.
