I later recorded a voice track and hoped to post the video online, but had problems uploading it. Naturally, we got footage of <strong>Vertigo </strong>sites (the film includes many locations in the city) and I also took some still photos of 900 Lombard St., "Scottie Ferguson's" apartment in North Beach. The building had changed so little in the 50+ years since the movie was made that I almost expected a vintage green Jaguar to pull up and an elegant, ethereal blonde to slide out...<br /><br /><br /><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_naJH44Lk3I?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_naJH44Lk3I?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
