Extract from Richard E Grant's excellent book
'With Nails'.
First trip to San Francisco
P134 - 24 May 1990
Dawn flight to Frisco and the city looks exactly like Dirty Harry showed it to me on a drive-in screen in Swaz (Richard E Grant grew up in Swaziland). With a soundtrack of Sinatra eulogizing the Golden Gate Bridge, the driver pointing out the aftermath of the latest earthquake, which has left an overhead motorway buckled and lying on its side like a toy, and here are those streets from Bullitt and round the corner it’s What’s Up, Doc? With a little High Anxiety thrown in. Bits of Hitchcock scroll their way through my viewfinder…
