Vertigo (1958): Madeleine Thinks She's Carlotta

The clip Madeleine thinks she's Carlotta from Vertigo (1958) with Tom Helmore, James Stewart

You've done well, Scottie. You're good at your job.
-That's Carlotta Vald?s. -Yes.
There are things you didn't tell me.
-I didn't know where she'd lead you. -But you knew about this.
You notice the way she does her hair? There's something else.
My wife, Madeleine, has several pieces of jewelry that belonged to Carlotta.
She inherited them.
Never wore them. They were too old-fashioned.
Until now.
Now when she's alone, she takes them out and looks at them handles them gently, curiously puts them on and stares at herself in the mirror and then goes into that other world, is someone else again.
Carlotta Vald?s was what, your wife's grandmother?
Great-grandmother.
The child who was taken from her whose loss drove Carlotta mad and to her death, was Madeleine's grandmother.
And the McKittrick Hotel is the old Vald?s home.
I think that explains it.
Anyone could become obsessed with the past with a background like that.
She never heard of Carlotta Vald?s.
She knows nothing of a grave out at the Mission Dolores?
Or that old house on Eddy Street?
The portrait at the Palace of the Legion of....
-Nothing. -When she goes to these places--
She's no longer my wife.
How do you know all these things she doesn't?
Her mother told me most of them before she died.
