North By Northwest

Do they do this in The Lady Eve? I don't remember if there was a tunnel, but there was a lot of suggestive cutting between exterior shots of the train and Eve's confessions of her pre-marital dalliances.

I'm sure there's a James Bond movie where it happens.

On the Simpsons (where Bart and Lisa are at the stock footage film festival)

I always think of "The Simpsons" example first, but I was glad to be reminded of North by Northwest.

Did anyone see that mercedes commercial during the superbowl? Car backs into tunnel, explodes out of tunnel with much ferocity. I had to have a cigarette after.

They did this in "Churchill: The Hollywood Years" - don't bother going to see it.

Didn't Hitchcock invent this in The Lady Vanishes?

― nickn (nickn), Saturday, 12 February 2005 09:52 (twenty years ago)

There was no sex (not even implied sex) in Lady Vanishes, if I remember correctly.

the video for "step into my office baby"?

Maybe he couldn't even imply sex in 1938, but I thought this was one of them. I don't remember what went on beforehand either.

Aww. If I weren't incrediblyh drunk (see suffixed 'h' which I feel necessary to make a joke about so you can't tell how incredibly drunk I am) I'd respond, but I don't trust my dummy response now.

They used to do this in "Dream On" quite a lot, maybe it was in the credits or something?
