For everybody who never saw the movie, there were a few clues that pointed in the right direction.
"One of the main characters is seen early in the movie, in a high-rise apartment. It is his friend's apartment, not his own, and he is visiting. Otherwise, we'd have a rather curious question to pose to the character or the director."
Ah, if Scotty had been suffering from vertigo, and kept the high-rise apartment when there were plenty of places to live that were on the ground floor, the audience would have complained.
"One of the most famous shots of the film was achieved by zooming the lens in while simultaneously pulling the camera back."
Hitchcock managed to convey the feel of vertigo when Scotty was in a stairwell by doing this. The viewer can feel the disorientation. (I don't have vertigo, and it gave me a wince.)
"The director has a "don't blink" cameo towards the beginning of this movie, in front of the shipyard, carrying a trumpet case."
Not many directors make a point of being in their movies, but Hitchcock is famous for his cameos.

Human without the bean
Why didn't you say that 2 days ago Mr. Wolf? Your right Rottie, They are pretty good. Makes it tough on me to get my 2 cents in.
Human without the bean
I was way off going with "The Terminal", except that it didn't have any articles of clothing in the title. I assume WordWolf is correct, but I'm not familiar with it. But that's not unusual.

Stallone. Also well-known for reprising his Rocky role. I can't see him in Eddie Murphy's role in BHC, though... George
