Going on a location tour of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic “Vertigo”, places all found in San Francisco and San Juan Bautista.
The locations highlighted on this tour are:
1) The BROCKLEBANK APARTMENTS on the corner of Mason and Sacramento streets. It’s the location of the Elsters residence, where Scottie (James Stewart) begins to trail Madelene Elster (Kim Novak).
2) Scottie trails Madeleine down California Street, skips ahead to Bush and Grant, they turn past Tillman Place towards the flower shop.
3) CLAUDE LANE, supposedly beside the flower shop but actually one block northeast, where Madeleine parks her car.
4) The former location of the PODESTA BALDOCCHI flower shop at 224 Grant street.
5) The LEGION OF HONOR, a fine arts museum where Scottie watches Madeleine obsessively contemplate the painting of Carlotta Valdes.
