You’d know better than I would.
He didn’t have the lungs for it.
Now I’m picturing Jimmy Stewart screaming like a woman. hehe.
Hitchcock is really using this whole room. The actors are using every piece of furniture in the room.

From filmsite.org:
The revelation of Madeleine in the next scene in Ernie’s restaurant is masterfully directed. [Ernie’s supper club was an actual landmark, located at 847 Montgomery St. in San Francisco, but closed in September, 1995. In fact, the interior and exterior shots of Ernie’s in the film were sets. The restaurant was noted for its striking red interior, and later appeared in the Woody Allen film Take the Money and Run (1969).] Scottie is seated at the bar in a darkened, red-walled restaurant, stylishly decorated with red and white flowers. There, he surreptitiously sees Gavin at a table with the lovely, elegant, and beautiful blonde Madeleine (Kim Novak) wearing a dark, nakedly-backless evening dress with green trim [green is a predominant color associated with Madeleine - and Judy - throughout the film]. While the camera moves toward their table, Madeleine’s back is kept toward the camera. As she leaves the restaurant, Scottie, half in profile, has his nervous, “ghostly” first encounter with the woman. His first view of the beautiful female is incredibly transcendental - she is half-seen in a close-up profile as she deliberately pauses behind him [to display herself to him] and awaits Elster, with the radiant light reflecting off her hair. Fascinated by and attracted to the woman that he has heard fantastic stories about, he starts to romantically and dependently “fall” in love with the ethereal, inaccessible and complex woman - already obsessed and desiring her. He decides to accept Gavin’s assignment to silently pursue his wife - without even meeting again with Gavin.
Back in the era of ubiquitous smoking, as well. Imagine what that place smelled like at the end of the night. :eek:
Descent into the tomb and out into the cemetery. Death motif, a bit?
Matching buns! A clue! And not in a Police Academy Blue Oyster Bar sort of way.
I just got there. I must be behind. Time check?
Have you seen recent Victoria Secret catalogs? It has bro.

I must get one. I need the support. I’m not as young as I used to be. Does it account for hair? Wouldn’t want chafing to occur.
No, can’t really say that I have.
I just realized I am watching Vertigo for the first time. Because of you guys. Thank you.
The manager of the hotel is Ellen Corby, better known as Grandma Esther Walton.
“Oh, you mean the gay old Bohemian days of gay old San Francisco. Juicy stories like who shot who in the Embarcadero in August 1879.”
Um…OK.
“Gay Old San Francisco”? As opposed to “Gay Modern San Francisco”? :rolleyes:
That. Is. Awesome.
Star Trek alert No spoilers from me, then.
Well, because of 'Talos. This is my first time too.
