So which dolly-out/zoom-in shot from which movie is referenced?

And anyone who's seen the old special-effects show at Universal Studios would recognize the fall from Vertigo instantly.

There's a super-long opening tracking shot... Rope? Or maybe Notorious. I dunno, Hitch liked the tracking shots.

Also, the key is Notorious.

I watched the opening and I thought the long pullback from a subject was straight Scorsese. It was just a little slower than his usual back/forward stuff.

Yeah, I think (as I was trying to snidely imply) that's the source of the uncertainty...he reused he tricks. A lot. So the fall was probably a combination of at least 2 of the above-mentioned options.

Have you seen Jimmy Stewart's Rear Window fall? It's very similar to the fall in this commercial. I've seen it tons of times because it's so funny.
:D

The long tracking shot is also a reverse of the long tracking of the key in Ingrid's hand from Notorious. Could be, I'm wracking my brain, I know there are other long tracking shots like that, To Catch a Theif has the long tracking during the chase at the begining.

The key, how the hell could I miss the key reference? (b!tch slap up side the head)

OK, so I don't know my Scorsese as well as Hitch. There's a still of an actor (De Nero?) above the hitch archives. Is that a still from a Scorsese film?

OH! NOTORIOUS! That was a dumb miss on my part.

Now *I* don't want to be at work either... I want to cut a side-by-side referential comparison.

I think I will do it, actually - I need some Final Cut practice anyway.

That would be neat to see.
I sign up for the viewing of LSPE's comparison cut.
