## Key points

- Scorsese has repeatedly tried to recreate a shot from *Marnie*.
- Hitchcock’s moving camera shot follows Tippi Hedren running with a gun.
- Scorsese says his versions have never matched the original.

## Summary

Martin Scorsese has said he has tried to recreate a particular shot from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1964 film *Marnie* in practically every picture he has made. He admires the shot’s sense of inevitability, but says his attempts have never matched Hitchcock’s original.

The moment shows Tippi Hedren’s character running with a gun after her injured horse, with the camera moving alongside her and the ground passing beneath. Scorsese described his recreations as looking as though the actor had been placed on a dolly, and told Quentin Tarantino that trying to capture the shot remains enjoyable even though he believes he will never get it right.
