Great link Mephisto! I fully expected to see huge changes, but aside from a couple of the sets, the 45 years basically just showed some facelifts.

I especially like the care that this person took to frame the shots almost exactly as he did the vid-capture of. Very well done.

If there are any other Hitchock fans, the amazing Criterion Hitchcock collection is gone forever as of December 31. At a $124.99 US SRP, it's not cheap, but worth every penny at twice that price! It includes the Criterion edition of 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, Rebecca, Spellbound, and Notorious.

Wow, cool find. As Baldrick said, it's amazing just how many locations just haven't change that much at all.

Also interesting to note, many of those shots were probably taken by a second unit crew since Hitchcock much preferred the studio environment to shooting on location.
