In which US city does Hitchcock's movie " Vertigo " take place?

"Vertigo" is a 1958 American film noir psychological thriller film directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock. The story was based on the 1954 novel "D'entre les morts" ("From Among the Dead") by Boileau-Narcejac. The screenplay was written by Alec Coppel and Samuel A. Taylor.

The film was shot on location in San Francisco, California, and at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. It is the first film to use the dolly zoom, an in-camera effect that distorts perspective to create disorientation, to convey Scottie's acrophobia. As a result of its use in this film, the effect is often referred to as "the Vertigo effect".

"Vertigo" received mixed reviews upon initial release, but is now often cited as a classic Hitchcock film and one of the defining works of his career. Attracting significant scholarly criticism, it replaced "Citizen Kane" (1941) as the best film ever made in the 2012 British Film Institute's Sight & Soundcritics' poll.  In 1996, the film underwent a major restoration to create a new 70mm print and DTS soundtrack. It has appeared repeatedly in polls of the best films by the American Film Institute, including a 2007 ranking as the ninth-greatest American movie of all time.
