Gene,
Thanks, I'll check out Obsession. Brian DePalma was pretty notorious for
using Hitchcock themes for his early movies.
You are probably aware, but Terry Gilliam took many of the themes and music
from Vertigo and placed them into his film 12 Monkeys. I remember the scene
when the doomed lovers, (Bruce Willis and an actress whose name escapes me)
are hiding out in an old movie house that just happens to be playing that
famous scene from Vertigo And just like the characters in Vertigo, you just
knew that things were not going to end well for those folks.
Mark
