The Alfred Hitchcock Locations Walks in London and New York
Sandra Shevey takes visitors to New York on a suspenseful excursion through Manhattan and Queens in the footsteps of director Alfred Hitchcock who
immortalised some of New York City`s most romantic neighborhoods in 9 of his New York-based films.
The walk which goes every Monday, Wednesday
and Saturday throughout the year, lasts for 3 hours and departs at llam. The cost is $25 excl Metrocard.
The voyage takes us to such locales as
midtown Manhattan, Greenwich Village, Jackson Heights, Forest Hills and Astoria.
Films profiled include `North by Northwest`, `The Wrong Man`,
`Strangers on a Train`, `Topaz`, `Rear Window` and `Spellbound`.
Seeing the actual sites of Hitchcock`s locations enables us to understand the
distortions- ie the ways that his imagination transformed sites. The result allows us to penetrate the magic of this masterful genius.
