correct. Far better than today!

This is brilliant, beautiful and disturbing and always will be.

A spellbinding, genuinely disturbing and provocative movie maker, over forty years since his passing, Alfred Hitchcock remains the master of cinematic creation. Like more profound and inventive, influential and lasting than even Kubrick, Spielberg, Ford, Scorcese, Lean, Wai, Coppola, Scott, Friedkin, Wyler, Lang, Murnau, Wilder, Kurosawa, Bergman, Welles, Cameron, Leone, Malick, Griffith and several other master class film directors.

One Of Alfred Hitchcock's Masterpieces

My favourite Hitchcock film

Saul Bass was one of the best ever at title sequences. Plus on this film, Hitchcock had DP Burks, editor Tomasini and Bernard H for music. They were the best he had.

Masterpiece, I was 13th when I wacht this intro, and never I forgot ❤🎉

man when i saw this movie the title sequence was the best

Estupendo contraste entre la calmada musica logo de James Horner y la misteriosa y potente intro de Herrmann.

This is how iTunes visualizer was made.

Technically one of the first uses of CGI in film. And in 1958 no less.

They're Lissajous figures, produced by a mathematical function that describes complex harmonic motion. What's particularly fascinating is that complex harmonic motion can through very simple means reach a chaotic state, which is utterly unpredictable. A very apt metaphor for Jimmy Stewart's tortured psychological state.

Like they obviously knew they were making a color movie. So what was their artistic point beginning this in black and white? Makes no visual sense, doesnt even look right. Clashes and detracts, lessening the overall effects of colorized haunted ambiance throughout.
