I posted this on another video. I Google earth Scottie’s Residence - Located at 900 Lombard street. It's been totally changed. It's just a wall with two gray doors and everything painted white including the chimney. I guess the owners got tired of the lookie-loos and selfie takers on their door steps. But standing on the sidewalk you can still see the Coit Tower with the cross traffic of Jones Street.
This is one of the neatest uses of an I Ching symbol in film. Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958). The iron work design on the red railing is the Hexagram 52 of the I Ching. Hexagram 52 denotes keeping still or meditation or mountain. Which kind of fits with Jimmy Stewart's character in the film. He's suffering from fits of vertigo from his near fall in the opening chase scene of the film so he basically has to keep still and meditate upon avoiding heights for the entire rest of the movie.
Pop Pilgrim to workmen working on roof at 900 Lombard: "Hey, do you guys know this is the house from Vertigo, the Hitchcock movie ?" Roofer: "No habla ingles, senior. No comprendo."
THE GRADE of the descend looks much steeper in the orig footage. Has the street been leveled, lowered and when ? Can the deep deep SF historians answer, silvuploo ..

When Scotty follows Madeleine note that he is always driving down a street and never up. Down, down down into obsession.

Vertigo is my favorite movie of all time.
It's hypnotic. Vertigo is amazing. Want to BE Jimmy Stewart and HAVE Kim Novak.

THANK you!!! This was delightful!
To think that there was a time when a police detective could afford a place like that...

Illegals can't even speak the language.
@@jamesedward3829 a hole
That's what they would say. Our culture has totally changed.
Sang a Mexican roofer if they knew that that was a famous house is a serious stretch. 😢
Now is completely change house owner don't want that fans coming at the door 2012 house change
Google maps shows that they have evidently changed the side of the building....
But when Stewart and Novak talk in front of the house it´s shot on a soundstage, as Hichcock allways did unfortunatlly.
Vertigo is an art film, one of Hitchcock's best, in my opinion this house should be protected by law as part of american film history
It’s no longer there!
It is, just has had a wall put up.
What about Jimmy Steward’ s apartment in the “ Rear Window “ movie. Does it still alive?
All of that was just a set built for the movie.
entirely shot at Stage 18, Paramount Studios - 5555 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA
that is studio rear widow apartment
THE GRADE of the descend looks much steeper in the orig footage. Has the street been leveled, lowered and when ? Can the deep deep SF historians answer, silvuploo ..
Or is it, too, a hoax i.e. a process plate, and originally shot from a higher vehichle, roof of a van ?
Let's get Brian an iron & ironing board for Christmas! Just sayin'. lol
Great content on a great Hitchcock movie! 👍
Very well done piece. I did a similar before-and-after recreation of that scene. See "My Life in San Francisco (1989) pt 3".
thats my dad

So, it is your fault the owners put up a wall to throw of Vertigo fans? 😂😂😂
No wall here.
"Vertigo is named 'greatest film of all time" Yup!

In reality, Lombard Street isn't even the crookedest street in San Francisco, let alone the world.
