Hollywood’s “everyman”, Stewart built a double career: the idealist of Frank Capra and, with Hitchcock and Anthony Mann, an actor willing to expose obsession, fear and violence beneath the affable surface.
In Vertigo he gives perhaps his riskiest performance — a romantic lead who is also a clinical case.
