:08:00
The innocent America.
:08:02
Santa Rosa
seemed to be a big contrast
:08:05
to the New Jersey rooming house.
:08:18
(O'Connell) And they found
this wondertul, old house,
:08:21
that was just a little run-down,
:08:23
which is exactly what they wanted
:08:25
because the family
was not wealthy or anything.
:08:28
So they made the deal,
and when they went up there
:08:33
they found that the people were so
excited that they'd used their house
:08:37
they'd painted the whole house.
:08:39
So they had to dirty it down again.
:08:41
But then they did fix it up for them.
:08:44
(Boyle) It's the kind of house
where you didn't lock the doors.
:08:47
It beckoned you
to come in and be there.
:08:50
So all the influences, good and evil,
:08:53
could enter that house from any place.
:08:57
It was like the innocent town.
:08:59
It was an innocent house that said,
:09:01
"Come in.
If you need anything, we're open."
:09:05
Oh, I can't explain it,
:09:07
but you came here,
and mother's so happy.
:09:11
(Wright) This was the first film
that I went on location on.
:09:14
It was not done a lot then,
:09:17
and it made a tremendous difference.
:09:19
There's no doubt that coming in real
doorways and opening real windows
:09:25
is better than being on a set.
:09:28
(O'Connell) In this case, he enjoyed
the location, which he never did,
:09:32
partly because of the cast he had.
:09:35
He got along so well with everybody.
:09:38
So the location work on this
was really a very happy time.
:09:42
It was a family picture, about a family,
:09:45
and we were with the Hitchcocks,
who were a family.
:09:49
Alma was right there all the time
:09:52
and Hitchcock would constantly defer
to her about certain scenes, the script.
:09:58
And it was so wondertul
to have Patty, who was very bright,
