Thanks for your comments about the video. I agree completely with you about Vertigo being Hitchcock's masterpiece. A lot of people think that it's also one of the greatest films ever made: I certainly do.
Thanks. Just a note: The Palace of Fine Arts, which is neither a palace or a fine arts locations, was completely rebuilt from scratch in the mid-1960s and is not the original as seen in Vertigo.
Hi, I live in England, but have visited SanFrancisco many times. It's one of my favourite cities in the world. I can't wait to return! The locations were shot more or less at the same time: late morning and afternoon. Hope your stay there goes well. You need strong legs though; those hills can be pretty challenging!
Great video, I have been by each one of these places many times as I have lived in San Francisco for the last 15 years. I never knew all these where in the movie. Thanks for sharing it with us
This is great! I just saw the movie "Vertigo" and was thinking about the locations some of the scenes were shot in, and I found this video. I was thinking how much they could have changed throughout all the years...
Thanks for your comments about the video. How lucky you are to live in San Francisco. It's one of my favourite cities, and I try to visit as often as I can. From what I have read, it was Hitchcock's favourite city too.
Went to San Fran a few years back and stayed at the Fairmont my Mrs got annoyed as all I did was point out film locations for Vertigo, Dirty Harry, Bullitt, The Game, Play it Again Sam, The Conversation and Zodiac great movies great city.
I have been to San Fran twice. However, I was with people that have never seen the film so I didn't see any of the sights. The whole time I heard the hermann score in my head.
I read somewhere that current owners of Scottie's apartment were tired of "film tourists" and decided to change the appearance of the facade to make it unrecognisable. Very sad indeed, but easy to understand.
Thank you for such interesting journey. Could you tell me the name of the location where Scottie and Madeleine stood near big old tree with marks on it ?
Yes, it's a lovely city. Sad that that the front of the house has now been re-modelled. Can't say that I blame the owners: who wouldn't want to protect their privacy? Best wishes from England.
I was referring to my video series, not his, which not only match the same camera angles from this film (also Dark Passage, an I Spy episode, etc.) but also includes clips from the original films/shows. As usual, on UA-cam one always has to overstate the obvious for the sake of clarity.
Very well done filming. I did a similar then-and-now recreation of the scene at Stewart's Lombard St. house -- and other film locations. See "My Life in San Francisco (1989) pt 3".
Coit Tower was shown but not highlighted. Missing are Midge's apartment on Union St., Argosy Book Shop, Ernie's, Portals of the Past in Golden Gate Park, Bay Bridge, Bethlehem Shipyards, Buena Vista Avenue Sanitarium and Podesta Baldocchi flower shop at 224 Grant Avenue.
This movie is my all time favorite Alfred Hitchcock film.
Not one thing has change in 50 years wonderful i would love to visit this place.

@ultrabrilliant
Thanks for your comment and your good suggestion.
Thanks for your comment. Vertigo is also my favourite film and San Francisco my favourite city.
I love your video. I just watched the movie and it was great to see what these places look like now. Thank you!
I love UA-cam.
Shame McKittrick Hotel no longer exists
I have been to San Fran twice. However, I was with people that have never seen the film so I didn't see any of the sights. The whole time I heard the hermann score in my head.
900 Lombard was remodeled at street level in 2013. The Vertigo facade is now gone.
I read somewhere that current owners of Scottie's apartment were tired of "film tourists" and decided to change the appearance of the facade to make it unrecognisable. Very sad indeed, but easy to understand.
@@misterjoe8012 Unfortunate, but understandable.
Very nice video. Have been in SF and seen these locations too.
I'm very surprised at how little change there is between these sites now and at the time of the movie shoot.
Thank you for such interesting journey. Could you tell me the name of the location where Scottie and Madeleine stood near big old tree with marks on it ?
Big Basin Redwoods
This is surreal, compared to the film almost nothing has changed. As far as I know, this is no. 2 of all times, after "Citizen Kane".
@Vinther1991 Me too.
Great video. Thankyou for the HD.
Thanks for location vertigo beatiful san francisco.vertigo house now change lot new look
Yes, it's a lovely city. Sad that that the front of the house has now been re-modelled. Can't say that I blame the owners: who wouldn't want to protect their privacy? Best wishes from England.
@@ilgattapardo yes they want own privacy greetings

Great upload! I guess the McKittrick Hotel is not even worth showing now, huh?
It was torn down years ago, sadly.
Pity the Fortmann Mansion was torn down one years after filming.. (McKittrick Hotel)

Seria interessante a comparação!
