Vertigo (1958): Meeting with Gavin Elster

The clip meeting with gavin elster from Vertigo (1958) with James Stewart, Tom Helmore

How did you get in the shipbuilding business, Gavin?
I married into it.
Very interesting business.
To be honest, I find it dull.
You don't have to do it for a living.
No, but one assumes responsibilities.
My wife's family is all gone.
Someone has to look after her interests.
Her father's partner runs the company yard in the East. Baltimore.
So I decided, as long as I had to work at it, I'd come back here.
-I've always liked it here. -How long have you been back?
Almost a year.
You like it?
San Francisco's changed.
The things that spell San Francisco to me are disappearing fast.
Like all these.
I should have liked to have lived here then.
Color, excitement, power.
Freedom.
Shouldn't you be sitting down?
No, I'm all right.
I was sorry to read about that thing in the paper. And you've quit the force.
-Is it a permanent physical disability? -No, no.
It just means I can't climb stairs that are too steep or go to high places like the bar at the Top of the Mark.
There are plenty of street-level bars in this town.
Would you like a drink now?
No, I don't think so.
It's a little early in the day for me.
I guess that covers everything, doesn't it?
I never married, I don't see much of the old college gang.
I'm a retired detective and you're in the shipbuilding business.
