One example is the scene of the hero in North by Northwest crossing the face of Mt Rushmore in his dinner jacket and shiny wing-tipped shoes. And analogous version of rock-climber-shoe unreality is in the movie High Sierra, where the only person who can scale the cliff and get into position to shoot the Humphrey Bogart bank robber character happens to be a pudgy local wearing cowboy boots.
