Jimmy Stewart's disembodied head in the green void.


That part in the dream sequence really caught me off guard when I first saw the movie, lol. I was like...what the fuck? Probably one of the most unsettling shots I've seen in a non-horror film. The way that whole shot is framed, does a great job at showing his descent into madness and obsession.

It always reminds me of this Doctor Who intro sequence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fnzcAFy8d8

The movie predates it by 15 years so it was ahead of its time!
