fear of heights

You are on a twisty turny road that leads nowhere in particular. Then you notice a large Englishman lensing one of his best movies in your neighborhood. Wait a minute! Where have I seen that profile before? Alfred Hitchcock came to San Francisco and shot Vertigo with Kim Novak and James Stewart. I stumbled across this site which compares location shots from the movie in 1958 and today in 2003. [via Monkeys vs Robots] Based on a virtual tour by Lawrence French that has lots of fun-filled information of Vertigo.

Vertigo is a great film, the only one I know that is specially about fear of heights, after all. Nice to see new location screenshots, but.... I mean retaking screenshots is fine, but hopefully no-one will atempt to retake the film, as there could always be only one original.
