Vertigo (1958) had to wait for its moment. Hitchcock pulled it from circulation in the 70s, and when it resurfaced years later, critics finally saw what had been there all along.

Alfred Hitchcock on why 'Vertigo' (1958) flopped & how Kim Novak feels about not wearing a brassiere: "Truffaut: I understand that the picture was neither a hit nor a failure. Hitchcock: It has made money by now. Truffaut: In your terms, wouldn't that be considered a flop? Hitchcock: I suppose so. One of our whimsies when a picture isn't doing too well is to blame it on the faulty exploitation. So let's live up to the tradition and say they just didn't handle the sales properly! Do you know that I had Vera Miles in mind for 'Vertigo', and we had done the whole wardrobe and the final tests with her? Truffaut: Didn't Paramount want her? Hitchcock: Paramount was perfectly willing to have her, but she became pregnant just before the part that was going to turn her into a star. After that I lost interest; I couldn't get the rhythm going with her again. Truffaut: I take it, from some of your interviews, that you weren't too happy with Kim Novak, but I thought she was perfect for the picture. There was a passive, animal quality about her that was exactly right for the part. Hitchcock: Miss Novak arrived on the set with all sorts of preconceived notions that I couldn't possibly go along with. You know, I don't like to argue with a performer on the set; there's no reason to bring the electricians in on our troubles. I went to Kim Novak's dressing room and told her about the dresses and hairdos that I had been planning for several months. I also explained that the story was of less importance to me than the over-all visual impact on the screen, once the picture is completed. Truffaut: It seems to me these unpleasant formalities make you unfair in assessing the whole picture. I can assure you that those who admire 'Vertigo' like Kim Novak in it. Very few American actresses are quite as carnal on the screen. When you see Judy walking on the street, the tawny hair and make-up convey an animal-like sensuality. That quality is accentuated, I suppose, by the fact that she wears no brassiere. Hitchcock: That's right, she doesn't wear a brassiere. As a matter of fact, she is particularly proud of that!" ("Hitchcock/Truffaut", 1983) P.S: On this day, 68 years ago, "Vertigo" (1958) premiered at San Francisco, USA.
