That is so cool, Terry. My favourite shot was when they walked past this monument and the birds go flying on cue. It was this moment and frame that I began to understand the genius of Hitchcock.

Classic... that's the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco ... one of my fave spots in the city since I was a wee kiddo.
It’s a beautiful spot nybe. I just have never seen a shot filmed like that before. He has it on a dolly for sure, it’s just the way he tracks it, it completely immerses you and makes it bigger than life. Sort of reminds me of the opening shot in Avatar.
Hitchcock was an insanely brilliant visual storyteller... been so long since I've seen it! will have to watch it the next few days.
