It's a crop dusting plane. Not a state of the art war plane. The cornfield should be there. What do you think they crop dust for? Just an open field with no crops? Accidents happen every minute of the day, car crash, go off the road, hit people and even homes. It is top 250 of all time out of 20,000 or more movies. That is why Hitchcock is famous for all the movies people flock to see and enjoy.

That would have been great. But I don't think there ever could have been a chance. Hitchcock was the real star of his movies and why people went to see them. Even today he's only one in a handful of directors Joe Public on the street can name. So I think his fame and cinematic style would've competed too much with Bond. As a Bond director you have to tow the company line, remain in the shadows and let the plot and Bond speak for themselves. Hitch was too much of an auteur to play along with that.

He said Grant was a real sweet, funny guy. I asked him how they shot those high (overhead) scenes looking down at Grant? and he said the film crew had a large crane there during the shooting and presumed that it was what they used.

@12classics39 Жыл бұрын

What a shot - according to the making-of documentary, Cary Grant was filmed running on a soundstage with footage of the approaching plane on a rear screen projection behind him. Which makes sense - why would they risk an actor’s life by actually flying a plane that close to him? Yet - unlike some rear projection scenes in old films - it’s not obvious at ALL. It looks so real and holds up so well today!!! Also if this film were made today the main character would be swearing under his breath all throughout this scene but Hitchcock knew no words were needed - Grant conveys sheer terror and panic with just his face and body language, which makes it even more realistic because would you really have the breath to say ANYTHING out loud with a gigantic plane trying to kill you in the middle of nowhere? This film will forever be a masterpiece.

Gives the impression of the vastness of the landscape and his isolation. Complete silence. When the farmer gets dropped off, the tension builds. CG doesn't know if the farmer is the guy he's supposed to meet. Hitchcock lets the tension build. Great writing by Ernest Lehman, too.

Agree. iconic scene, and I saw this when it was shown in a wide screen format in a theater. When shown in its original format it is really impressive and Hitch didn't have all the tricks we now have to create this back in 1958/59. Real plane Real pilot back then. How they did the crash into the oil truck still amazes me. Random observations: Cary G. in great shape for his age. That was him, no double. But filming this in the dry soil fields of central California (supposedly they scouted Indiana and Illinois farms but Hitch didn't find a road he liked) can't convince anyone this is southern Illinois or Indiana farmland as the story requires.

Excellent. But I miss the beginning where he watches the area suspiciously as well as the farmer approaching and the end where he steals the car.

when you're being chased by a tracking pursuer, the best option's to jump out of the way at the last second which is why animals and such will run directly away from your car instead of going off the road

The remasterisation is amazing! I wish teachers could have shown us this version when we used to watch it at school so the stupid pupils wouldn't have been like "what a bad old movie!"

I saw this scene being shot as a student of Semitropic School on a field trip not far from the school.

When you get older it's nice to see actors that you saw when you were a child in other roles such as the police officer who helped Cary Grant into the court room which was Steve Hardy from general hospital or agent 99 boss from get smart

Really a seed for many James Bond movies, wearing full shirts with tie doing the action scenes. From Russia with Love first came to my mind when they chase Bond in the open.
