    I used to watch a tv series called Charmed which began each episode with helicopter shots over San Francisco. Loved watching those too after visiting the city for a while, back in the 90's.

    "San Francisco, officially the City and County of San Francisco, is the leading financial and cultural centre of Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area. It is the most densely settled large city in the state of California and the second-most densely populated major city in the United States after New York City."


    I think Northern California always reminded Hitch of England. There was something about the weather, which was very unpredictable. It was fog and rain and then sunshine and then fog and rain again. It was a moody, strange area — both forbidding and foreboding. I believe that's what intrigued him. It had a kind of mystical quality.

    “The Laziest Girl in Town”

    [​IMG]

    "Jane Wyman plays Eve Gill an aspiring actress who gets involved with her friend Jonathan Cooper (Richard Todd) when he is accused of killing his lover’s husband. Marlene Dietrich is Charlotte Inwood a high society cabaret performer whose blood stained dress becomes the flailing truth behind the murder. Michael Wilding is wonderful as Det. Ordinary Smith, and Alastair Sim is equally entertaining as Eve’s quirky father who is recruited to help Jonathon prove his innocence. Sybil Thorndike is Eve’s prickly mother."

    5 Creepy Halloween Connections To Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho
    [​IMG]
    "John Carpenter's Halloween franchise is a classic, but it actually has several creepy connections to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. While Halloween is often credited with being the film that started the slasher craze of the 1980s and '90s, the 1978 film actually owes a lot of credit to Hitchcock's 1960 classic, with the film heavily inspiring John Carpenter's first outing with Michael Myers."

    "The Halloween franchise has been known to wear its inspirations on its sleeve, with it referencing all kinds of other horror movies across its 13 films. However, the most common film Halloween references is Psycho, with the two franchises being connected in five big ways."
