Vertigo

His rooftop experience made him shaky on heights (the illustration friday prompt is shaky). Vertigo, for me, is barely a suspense film at all, it is so much about disillusion and the folly of taking appearance over substance. It could almost be seen as the director's informing the audience of what is really behind Hollywood glamour (the original meaning of glamor was for a sort of enchantment the fairies threw over things to fool mortals).
