Spellbound holds the record for shortest segment of color film- the
gunshot scene towards the end of the movie, lasting two frames. Rope was
originaly shot in black and white but you needed special glasses to see it.
Incidently, did you know that the Psycho shower scene was shot in
continous ten minute takes, to give a real time effect?

I have read a lot about "Vertigo" but never that it was
filmed in 3D. I could be wrong, but as far as I know,
"Dial M For Murder" is the only film Hitchcock made
in 3D. Did you actually see "Vertigo" in 3D in 1958?
And if not, what is your source of information?
I would be very interested to see any published record
of this. I would very much like to hear about any
more details you can provide.

You're thinking of the dream sequence in "Spellbound." I don't
believe Dali had anything to do with "Vertigo."

yes, it's surprising how few people know these important bits of
trivia. like the fact that there were no microphones on the sets of
hitch's movies; the dialogue was dubbed in later by himalayan sherpas,
who worked for cheap. or the fact that all of ingrid bergman's roles
were actually played by hitch in drag.

Jeff is right. Hitchcock invented the dolly-zoom for Vertigo. A great
effect .
