@schizoidboy yup. and I'm in a film class right now. In college. and we have to dissect this scene shot by shot and write an analyses paper on it.

The thing about Hitchcock is that whenever possible, he tries to use the setting. When Cary Grant is trapped in an auction, the only way to get out is by bidding. In Rear Window, the photographer uses a flash gun to fend off his attacker. In The 39 Steps, Robert Donat is captured in a music hall during a world's-smartest-man act and the only way to get out is to shout out a question that answers the entire plot of the movie. The list goes on.

paulmurphy42 Hey Paul! That's corn transplanted from the ag department of a nearby high school. It looks like a full crop in the movie, actually it's about 5 or 6 rows shaped kind of like the letter "U." It's all movie magic. I think the close ups of him when the chemical is dropped were done in studio, but not sure.

@fly1041 Just out of interest, what crops are those he's hiding in?
-
@fly1041 I think a lot of the scene is Rear Projection, but I guess they filmed the crop duster and the parts where it's not about to hit him out there

Aw, remember this in my film class senior year, good times.

@mahler71 Yes, exactly .. you've heard a _rumor_. Think how easy it is to put a rumor into the world and nigh unto impossible to restore a reputation tarnished that way, regardless of whether there was any truth to the rumor or not.

@LeRoi715 Cary Grant was da man! I've never seen a film that he was in that wasn't worth seeing.

They filmed this scene in a remote area about 20 miles northwest of a little town in California called Wasco. I lived on a small farm a mile from the set. We were out there almost every day for two weeks. I was 12 years old and had no idea who Cary Grant was, but my mother did. I thought he sounded funny pronouncing my name--ROY! The local pilot of the plane was Bob Coe. Today I'm owner and pilot of a Piper Cherokee. The man who works on it is Bob Coe, also a pilot and son of the original pilot.

I've heard that this part was one of the best filmed scenes in movie history, so much so that there are college courses dedicated to teaching this scene.
