Eye on
the Bay, a feature of KPIX, CBS’s San Francisco TV outlet, was recently on the
trail of director Alfred Hitchcock, traveling around the Bay Area to take an up-close look at locations used
in his films. The 20-minute piece, Hitchcock Step-By-Step, focuses on sites featured in Shadow of a Doubt (1943), The Birds (1963) and Vertigo (1958). Aaron Leventhal,
co-author of the definitive Hitchcock-in-the-Bay-Area guidebook, Footsteps in the Fog, discusses the director’s
work in the region,
providing fascinating production background as well as information on many locations. Hitchcock’s
granddaughter, Tere Carruba, talks about her grandfather from a personal point of view and Edna May Wonacott, the last surviving featured cast member of Shadow of a Doubt, speaks on television
for the first time about how she was chosen for the film and what it was like to work with Alfred Hitchcock.
