This is one of those movies that makes pretty much all other movies make a little more sense.  Granted, it only made so much sense to me because I’d just recently seen Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (1954), but the fact remains, this is one you’ve just got to know…

“We hear you’re broke.”
“Naw… I’m just doing this cause I’m an eccentric millionaire!”

Happy Birthday Jack Lemmon!

Is it just me or does Lemmon in the second picture look like Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

The vivid and unforgettable nightmare sequence in Vertigo was actually developed quite early in the production process. It is described in detail as early as Alec Coppel’s draft of the script. Hitchcock enlisted Modern artist John Ferren to storyboard the sequence, which was followed faithfully in filming. Ferren’s credit in the film is an ambiguous “Special Sequence By.”
