The fly


Has anybody else noticed the fly walking and flying around our beloved artist while kissing Shirley?

I came here to post the same question. I thought it was a little distracting.
I wonder if it was left in as sort of a joke. After all, there was a corpse lying around the house. Don't know if he was dead long enough to attract flies, though.

I was wondering more why a fly was inside the studio. Still, they get in some weird places.

I was surprised to spot the fly in the kiss scene, but imagine that it possibly fitted in with Hitchcock's dark sense of humour anyway.

Also, some of the scenes were filmed in a school gymnasium in Vermont where facilities possibly were not up to studio standards, which might help to explain it.

Very funny all the same.

Didn't one crawl into a teleportation cabinet?

reply

YES! I was so distracted by it!

Who the fu_ck are the Knutsens?

I noticed it to. And it wasn't just in the kissing scene. In the scene right before it when they were in the store and that one guy was talking on the phone you could see a fly buzzing around his head. It was probably just a little mistake.

I find a little giggle-gas before I begin increases my pleasure enormously.

The fly appears on Sam's hand/arm when he's drawing Harry's face and talking to the captain.

That FLY was the same that appeared much later in PSYCHO.

That fly sure missed a trick... could have claimed royalties and lived out the rest of his days in the lap of luxury.

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year.

If you look closely, that fly has a cameo in all of Hitchcock's films.
