Vertigo: Haunted Locations – Part Four


Scottie proceeds to follow Madeleine into the chapel, fearing that she is about to kill herself.


After Madeleine has fallen to her death there is a sequence consisting of the coroner’s inquest into her death which was filmed in the Plaza building at the Mission San Juan Batista.

After Scottie’s mental breakdown there is a sequence in San Francisco where he spots a woman who bears a striking resemblance to the dead Madeleine. He follows her back to her room at the Empire Hotel. This Hotel has now been renamed the York Hotel but is still clearly recognizable from the film.


Scottie befriends the woman, who calls herself Judy. In one beautiful sequence they take a walk together at the Palace of Fine Arts.
