Vertigo Revisited

truely haunting!,..a keeper for sure..amazing what Herrmann's music can do for ones home movies ;o)

Ahhh, if only I had done the proper research before my recent trip to San Francisco! Seeing this video would have helped... I must have walked right by Scottie's apt. on my way to the 'crooked street'... See my video, 'POOR MAN'S VERTIGO' here on YOUTUBE!
you did a great job filming all the locations. god, i wish i could have gone to mission san juan bautista!! that would have been the greatest. do they let you enter the tower there?

There's a great bus tour of the location of films in San Francisco. 2 cool guys in a bus with a video screen and they show scenes from movies filmed in San Fran and you drive by those places. Really puts you in the feeling of the films and also fun in a tongue and cheek sort of way.

Midge's apartment was filmed on a soundstage, but the background is view from telegraph hill towards russian hill. experts have located midge's apartment as 296 union st. corner of union and montgomery. see Footsteps in the Fog by Jeff Kraft and Aaron Leventhal

Very cool. I was there recently and used a few of the locations for a film I'm making. Was very nice to see the one's I missed. It is amazing to see how little these locals and the city itself have changed. It really is a great place.

great camera job, I visited all these places in 2007 plus Ernie's, Coit Tower, Midge's apartment, the mental clinic, the old McKittrick Hotel on Eddie St (that doesn't exist anymore), the Pacific Union Club (where Elster meets Scottie), plus 17 mile Drive (beach scene), Big Basin (forest scene, not done in Muir Woods as some think), and the alley on Claude Lane behind the flower shop PLUS places that were not shown but mentioned, Portals of the Past in Golden Gate Park, War Memorial Opera House.

i HAVE THE ORIGINAL VINAL LP TO VERTIGO ON EBAY UK AT THE MOMENT. Go to VERTIGO ORIGINAL LP, from ebay user top.vision

I've seen the mental hospital where Scotty is put after he goes nuts; my cousin lives quite nearby. I think it was actually a VA hospital at the time.

I was going to ask about Carlotta's old house, where Madeleine rents a room, but someone already commented on that. I was sure it must've been torn down a long time ago.

I just read that the Empire Hotel is under new management and is called the Vertigo Hotel!

Carlottas House is still there. stands all by itstelf and is in bad shape

That house was torn down in 1959. It's a tennis court now. Eddy and Gough
