How about this one. Sort of Hitchcock ;-) This is actually a travelling matte, which means, basically, that it had to actually work while the camera was tracking across from left to right as a car arrives and pulls up.

It's actually from Psycho II, in 1983, by the late, very great Albert Whitlock. The guy was an illusion genius. Yes, the hills behind the motel are not very well painted, but can you tell where the painting begins and ends?

Ahh gee. Now I'm getting all sentimental thinking about all this great stuff. Nope. I cannot tell where the seams between live-action and matte are. Great stuff from Whitlock.

Like all great matte artists, he knew where the detail needed to go and where it didn't. Focus the eye. ;)

edit:

Venal, that Paradine shot was an hanging matte? I miss in-camera fx.
