Hi Paul I remember bidding on that scene in the same auction. Its interesting that, although the auction was 10 years ago, a couple of the scenes were purchased by MoPo members.
Thanks to everyone for the great input on this and Merry Christmas to all. Regards John JOHN REID VINTAGE MOVIE MEMORABILIA Website: www.moviemem.com PO Box 92 Elanora Qld 4221 Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Gerrard To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, December 24, 2010 11:33 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] North by Northwest question Must have been around the same time I got one of man being frizzled alive after the crop duster’s collision with the oil truck. Now there’s a cheery image for the festive season! A detail of the scene that was cut/never filmed, allegedly because it was too graphic. http://www.movieposterstudio.com/tmp1/NbNW_crash.jpg Came with a photostat negative of the storyboard sequence:- http://www.movieposterstudio.com/tmp1/NbNW_sb.jpg Dan Auiler showed these images amongst many others in his book “Hitchcock’s Secret Notebooks”. John – knowing your shared love of The Corpulent One, I’m sure you’re very familiar with this book anyway, but I just had a quick look in case it contained any clues to your mystery scene. Unfortunately not, but perhaps worth trying to get in touch with Dan Auiler, as he clearly sifted through a lot of these storyboards during his research. Best of Christmas Wishes to everyone from ‘Blighty’.
