Yes, but Stewart was shooting Raymond Burr whom he suspected of having 
murdered his (Burr's) wife. I only shot birds and squirrels. Not nearly 
as exciting.

As for reality, I thought (think) that it was Alfred Stieglitz who shot 
NYC streets from his window, but I certainly could be mistaken. (Being 
one, I'm also a fan of Smith's work.)
