question about a hitchcock shot..

I think if its used in the right context (none i have found yet) its a great shot. On another note who was the first person to use the circular dolly track to spin around a subject?

My all time favorite Disney film, Flight of the Navigator, uses the shot in a somewhat appropriate context. The shape of the ship the kid is in begins changing shape, and they use the vertigo shot to mimic that within the ship. They did it smoothly as well. Looks good. Anway, I just thought I'd throw that out there (check it out if you've never seen it!)
 
In the famous car chase sequence in the DVD of 'The French Connection' Peter Bogdavovitch mentions that he used this technique in the shot where the woman with the baby carraige is almost hit by Hackmans speeding car. They either show a slow motion view or if you play the shot in slow mo you'll see it.
