The opening title sequence designed by Saul Bass makes this the first movie to use computer graphics.
The Empire Hotel where James Stewart eventually finds Kim Novak is the Hotel Vertigo (formerly the York) located at 940 Sutter Street in lower Nob Hill in San Francisco. Novak's character lived in Room 501, which still retains many of its aspects captured in this movie. As of 2023, Hotel Vertigo is closed.
Uncredited second unit cameraman Irmin Roberts invented the famous "zoom out and track in" shot (now sometimes called "contra-zoom" or "trombone shot") to convey the sense of vertigo to the audience. The view down the mission stairwell cost $19,000 for just a couple of seconds of screentime.
Sir Alfred Hitchcock had originally wanted to use his now-famous 'Vertigo zoom' as far back as Rebecca (1940), but due to lack of technology at that time, he couldn't do it. The technique was inspired by a time when Hitchcock had fainted during a party.
This movie was unavailable for three decades because its rights (together with four other movies of the same period) were bought back by Sir Alfred Hitchcock and left as part of his legacy to his daughter Patricia Hitchcock. They've been long-known as the "Five Lost Hitchcocks" among movie buffs and were re-released in theaters around 1984 after an approximately thirty-year absence. The others are The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), Rear Window (1954), Rope (1948), and The Trouble with Harry (1955).
"Scottie: Don't you think its kind of a waste for the two of us... Madeleine: To wander separately? But, only one is a wanderer; two together are always going somewhere."
"Madeleine: [pointing to the margin of a cross-section of a Sequoia who had lived for over a thousand years] Here I was born, and there I died. It was only a moment for you; you took no notice."
