Offensichtlich war er sehr angetan, denn er kaufte noch im folgenden Jahr ein Anwesen in Scotts Valley, wo er bis 1972 lebte. Neben Rebecca drehte er in der Folgezeit unter anderem "Verdacht", "Im Schatten des Zweifels", "Vertigo", "Die Vögel", "Marnie" und "Familiengrab" ganz oder teilweise in San Francisco und den umliegenden Orten.
