Very revealing of Hitchcock's "blonde misogyny". Great movie, but I saw it as a child when it first came out and didn't understand it. It wasn't until I was adult that I caught on to the themes of obsession and yearning.
Hitchcock was a Brit, and probably put Scotty on the "correct" side of the road as an item of humor.
Follow Ups:
Well actually it was the absolute reverse! Hich loved blondes....
More like sadistic, frustrated obsession. He tortured his actresses. He knew they would never willinglly reciprocate his interest if it weren't for money and power, and so he tormented them.
Hum...Actually he had a long and lasting relation with Grace and get more than along with Carole.
A little too easy....
Look at the theme of Vertigo. The deceiving woman entrancing the vulnerable man into obsession, depression and near psychosis. Scotty is the patsy all the way around and the blond (two blondes) wind up squashed like bugs. I would call this self revealing on Hitchcock's part. The only one who seems to come out OK is the hearless, cad friend who started the whole thing in the first place to murder his wife.
Well I would not take one film and extrapolate on the inner life of Hitch...
dont't get me started.
