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.
