|  Vertigo Part Twelve : Remaking Madeleine
Before Watching
Read the following description of the scene you're about to see and then compare what is written with the filmed version:When Scottie is released, he drifts aimlessly for a while, shattered and searching for his lost love, behaving somewhat "mad" - recalling the Bookseller´s words about "mad Carlotta." He revisits the places where he often saw Madeleine - first at Gavin Elster's apartment where her Rolls Royce is parked. Then at Ernie's Bar and the Palace of the Legion of Honor, hoping that he will find her alive. Twice, he imposes dreams on reality - imagining two Madeleine look-alikes who resemble her, or other reminders such as her flower corsage.
