Hitchcock's Films
Vertigo (1958)
Both the interior and exterior of the restaurant were re-created as sets in the studio for Vertigo. The owners of the restaurant, Roland and Victor Gotti, appear in the film and provided numerous props from the restaurant for the studio set. Victor Gotti later recalled fluffing his line as James Stewart entered the restaurant, saying "Good evening, Mr. Stewart" instead of calling him "Mr. Ferguson".[2][3]
