When Scotty follows Madeleine note that he is always driving down a street and never up. Down, down down into obsession.

...into the spiral where a straight line merges with the rounded shape of feminine libidnal whirlpool, which opens not only the access into woman sexual organ but into the BROADer (pun int.) realm of simultaneous existential horror & awe ..."Vertigo" (=2 signifiers) is in woman's gaze male cannot read, only to be frustrated by its inaccessability which leads not just into temptation but into the urge to control. That definez "the power of woman s love" - wherever it may Lie (2 signif - again..). All that the male can, thereafter, claim and possess is his own quiant and vain attempt to alleviate the levitation his private perception provides, and that is thru uncertainty ; therefore by obfuscating it into oblivion, and all else concordingly, because infatuation w death corresponds similarly in reference to erotic supremacy. This is an essential leitmotif in most all of films noir : the chains that bind and liberate - thru deception, connivance & claustrophy. In conclusion, Scottie s a goner, mentally, a shard of his 4mer patriarchal self, even if the feminine mystique is seemingly obliterated as in Bunuel s last film "THIS OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE". What remains is a blank hole in male s soul, if there ever was such a ....vacuum ? The yin-yang polarity is too bipolar. Creates havoc,,not harmony. Surrealism 4 every citizen, every filmgoer, every hitchcockian, every narrowed consciousnessian...every Russian Hillian ..

Vertigo is my favorite movie of all time.

I posted this on another video. I Google earth Scottie’s Residence - Located at 900 Lombard street. It's been totally changed. It's just a wall with two gray doors and everything painted white including the chimney. I guess the owners got tired of the lookie-loos and selfie takers on their door steps. But standing on the sidewalk you can still see the Coit Tower with the cross traffic of Jones Street.

THANK you!!! This was delightful!

To think that there was a time when a police detective could afford a place like that...

Pop Pilgrim to workmen working on roof at 900 Lombard: "Hey, do you guys know this is the house from Vertigo, the Hitchcock movie ?" Roofer: "No habla ingles, senior. No comprendo."

That's what they would say. Our culture has totally changed.

But when Stewart and Novak talk in front of the house it´s shot on a soundstage, as Hichcock allways did unfortunatlly.

Google maps shows that they have evidently changed the side of the building....

Very well done piece. I did a similar before-and-after recreation of that scene. See "My Life in San Francisco (1989) pt 3".

It’s no longer there!

Let's get Brian an iron & ironing board for Christmas! Just sayin'. lol Great content on a great Hitchcock movie! 👍

THE GRADE of the descend looks much steeper in the orig footage. Has the street been leveled, lowered and when ? Can the deep deep SF historians answer, silvuploo ..

Or is it, too, a hoax i.e. a process plate, and originally shot from a higher vehichle, roof of a van ?

What about Jimmy Steward’ s apartment in the “ Rear Window “ movie. Does it still alive?

No wall here.

In reality, Lombard Street isn't even the crookedest street in San Francisco, let alone the world.
