1. Marilyn Pauline "Kim" Novak turned 90 in February.

I hope she is doing well and yes, she was stunning back in the day.

2. Voted one of the greatest films ever

She's so beautiful

4. Agreed.

5. I loved the San Francisco and nearby scenes.

The bell tower is at Mission San Juan Bautista south of Gilroy on Hwy. 101.

High Anxiety is mostly a take-off of this movie and uses San Francisco locations as well.

Ms. Novak's performance at The Legion of Honor museum was eerie and set a lot of the tone for the movie.

Hitchcock had a cameo (he had several in his movies)

In the movie lot, not SF.


Actually, a whole lot of them.

Not to take away from Ms. Novak, of course.

8. I sometimes pay homage to the spot where she jumped beneath the Bridge. It's closed off, of course.

9. Call to movie buffs! What are the details of this scene?

Stunt persons, and so on.

I'd look it up (I seem to remember reading details of it in the past) but I am way behind in everything today.

10. I'm always impressed by how realistic those stairs are that Jimmy climbs up from the water on.

They really look like they've been there as long as the abutment has.

6. Hell of a movie.

[Doc Sportello]

7. Yes she is

Great movie but she is just .... stunningly beautiful.
