In the end credits of Vertigo, it says Thanks and about 10 people, one of them being a guy named Martin Scorsese. Is this our Martin Scorsese? imdb.com says he did some work on Lawrence of Arabia, but that was in 1962. Vertigo was made in 1958. That would have made him 16, right? That seems young, but Scorsese did enter a seminary in '56.

Anyone know if it's him? And is he really only 5'3"?????

I haven't seen the specific credits you referenced, JJ, but: Are you watching a DVD of "Vertigo"? If so, perhaps Scorsese helped with the restoration or re-release of the film in DVD form. He's a great movie buff and historian, and he helped with the resurrection and re-release of "Purple Noon," a great 1960 French/Italian film that was the basis for "The Talented Mr. Ripley." BTW: Scorsese wrote the forward to a book about the making of "Vertigo."

Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

No, it was on Turner Classic Movies. I'm not sure what they show, but it would make sense that they show the restored versions of all movies, so that could be it.

Interesting. I'll have to check that book out, as Vertigo is one of my favorites. Thanks

Patricia Highsmith"s Talented Mr. Ripley is a masterpiece. No other word is needed to describe the novel. It captures the reader attention from the first pages, and never lets go until the very end. Actually there are also other four sequels that followed the original, Ripley Under Ground, Ripley's Game, The Boy Who Followed Ripley, and Ripley Under Water. Of these four sequels I have only read The Boy Who Followed Ripley, and in the end was pleasantly surprised. For a book with such a bad reputation it turned out to be quite a good read. My only complaint is the unfulfilling ending that leaves the reader questioning the reason, which drove them to read the book in the first place. Also Ripley Under Water has a great plot, and I can't wait to read it.

There is a very important lesson that Hollywood writers, producers, and directors need to understand. Movie adaptations will never be as good as the original novels. Very few films ever suppressed the books. Every Tom Ripley film adaptation proved to be less worthy. I mean I haven't seen Purple Noon, but others were not very good. The script undergoes major re-writing, and the very famous “new ending by Hollywood writers” is introduced. At least do everyone a favor and leave the original ending in place.
