On Long Island City taking a picture of the Queensboro bridge?

David Marc Fischer said...

Sorry, Debbie--no...but thanks for making the first guess!

Hmmm, the picture looks like it was taken from Sutton Place but from long ago. Are you at a gallery?

David Marc Fischer said...

Not exactly, Gary, but I think you're getting the picture.

Are your pictures photo's of photographs?

David Marc Fischer said...

Not exactly, Gary.

Were you on the Roosevelt Island tram?

David Marc Fischer said...

Very imaginative guess, Debbie...but no.

Were you in Manhattan?

David Marc Fischer said...

Yes, I was, Gary!

Were you at Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Avenue at 103rd St?

David Marc Fischer said...

That's a good guess, Debbie especially in light of the first clue and the bridge/Eugene de Salignac photography exhibit at the museum--yet another attractive show in the city during what seems to be an outstanding season. (That's my point of view, at least.) But, as you've probably guessed by now, that's not it, either.

The Queensboro Bridge Market Hall where Guastavino's and Conran's are located?

David Marc Fischer said...

No, Debbie--but there's a market nearby.

David Marc Fischer said...

Inside, Gary.

David Marc Fischer said...

Yes, Gary: above the Deuce.

You were at the James Sander's Celluloid Skyline at Grand Central, oui?

If Gary isn't right (and I hope you are, Gary) then what do you say to a little warm/cold at this point?

Are you on the east side?

David Marc Fischer said...

Hey, Gary...you're hot!

You and Debbie have been obsessing over three movie backdrops on display as part of the Celluloid Skyline exhibit at Grand Central Terminal 'til Friday.

So how convincing were the shots? I tried to snap them at the most illusory angles...and, from sizing up the results, I think I wound up with a little lesson in perspective. I don't know when I'll have another chance to try it out, though.

Oh--anyone want to guess about the source of the second image, or should I just give it away?

When I first saw picture 2 I thought it looked very 50's and thus thought of the UN, but I can't recall anything like this there.

I thought it looked a little Musée d'Orsay but that's not in Manhattan.

David Marc Fischer said...

Gary, you're still hot!

David Marc Fischer said...

But...any guess as to the movie?

OK given your info and google I now know the movie, nbn with cg, but I'll keep it this cryptic so others can guess. I own the movie so I can't wait to get home and check this out.

Gary, you're too cute with your "cryptic" answer. Being that I seem to encompass the "others" in this round I believe I've cracked your secret code and it's North by Northwest with Cary Grant. Having figured that out, I still don't know where that's supposed to be, if it's supposed to represent a real location.
