Featuring Steven C. Smith
Cary Grant racing across the faces of Mount Rushmore in North by Northwest. A Nazi spy clinging for his life from the torch of the Statue of Liberty, in Saboteur. A mystery woman who dives into San Francisco Bay, framed by the Golden Gate Bridge, in Vertigo.
Join us as we travel in the footsteps of legendary director Alfred Hitchcock. We’ll discover the secrets behind his filmmaking techniques, and find out how he turned iconic U.S. landmarks into settings for many of the greatest suspense scenes ever filmed.
