Bernard Herrmann's music for Psycho has been recognized as a landmark in cinematic score for motion pictures.The sense of dread and impending doom is subtly telegraphed to the audience. Brilliant!

On the day that the Oscar nominations for the 33rd Academy Awards were announced in early 1961, and Janet Leigh had been nominated for Best Supporting Actress but Anthony Perkins had been snubbed by the Academy, Alfred Hitchcock called Anthony Perkins on the telephone and told him that the Academy had robbed him and disgraced themselves.

I’ve seen this movie a hundred times (one of my all time favorites) but it never occurred to me that MAYBE the reason Norman acts so weird and makes that pained face at the end when Loomis subdues him is because he’s not a grown man at that point, he’s Mrs Bates, an old, frail woman. So, yeah, it would be agony for “her” as a big guy takes “her” down. Brilliant.

One of the best shots in this is when the investigator is checking her handwriting in the log-book and Norman leans forward over his shoulder, nervously checking. The way the camera is shot underneath Norman's throat adds so much tension as he leans in; makes you feel Norman's stress almost.

I feel Anthony Perkins did not get the recognition he deserved as an actor. His performance in this is incredible. He is very believable in this film. I always read his performance in "The Black Hole" to be him doing the Anti-Norman. That suppressed mania, but dedicated to the search for knowledge through science, even at personal risk.

Actor John Gavin who played Leigh’s boyfriend “Sam Loomis” was actually appointed as president Reagan’s first ambassador to Mexico. He was also president of the screen actors guild and a year or so after Psycho was seriously considered for the role of James Bond in “Dr. No.” Eventually they went with Connery but Gavin would have been an interesting choice. He certainly looks the part. Vera Miles played the sister who eventually finds out what’s happening. Alfred Hitchcock REALLY liked her. I mean REALLY liked her. He wanted her to be his next Grace Kelly an actress whom he did movies especially with her in mind. Miles got pregnant however, and quit acting for a while and Hitchcock was upset with her. He eventually “forgave” her but she didn’t make anything for him for a while. I loved her in all her movies and she continued to act into the 1990’s. Great movie. Cool video! Thanks for watching it.

If anyone wants to see John Gavin playing a kind of parody of his usual persona, check out Thoroughly Modern Millie. He's a hilarious straight man in that. Also, one reason he was Ambassador to Mexico is that he was himself Mexican-American, though like Rita Hayworth he didn't advertise that.

What makes the shower scene so terrifying even to this day is that it shows the victim at her most vulnerable. She's in a strange motel in a strange city, she's naked, backed into a corner, has no means of defending herself, with a tall ghastly shadowy figure attacking her with a butcher knife out of complete surprise. Put yourself in that situation. That's overwhelmingly terrifying.

Hitchcock has been quoted as saying that he is proudest of his 1940 film, 'Shadow of a Doubt', starring Joseph Cotton and Theresa Wright. Screenplay by Thornton Wilder, who wrote the famous play 'Our Town' - which is about small town life. 'Shadow' is about small town life with a murderer in it, to complete that world.. 'Shadow' is one of my favorite Hitchcock films, along with about 4 or 5 others.

One of your questions was: "How'd the boss know she was leaving town? He saw downtown ." What the boss (and all the Phoenix locals) would know within a few days, is that Marion disappeared: a no-show at work and at her home. The boss would also know that the money was gone. It wouldn't do the boss any good to assume that Marion stayed in Phoenix, at some random location (because there would be no clues to be discovered, if she'd done that.) A better assumption (and the right one) is: she journeyed _to someone or something_. What connections does Marion have? Lila knew that Marion had some connection with Sam, and Lila also knew where Sam lived and worked. Even if Lila didn't reveal that information to Marion's boss, the boss and/or Mr. Cassidy would have instructed Arbogast to follow up any lead, no matter how small. Arbogast followed Lila to Fairvale. Arbogast probably would have followed Lila everywhere, for weeks if necessary, as Lila would be the only connection they would have. // My understanding is that several female actors were used for "Mother's" voice. Hitch also used a female stand-in for "Mother" in the shower scene, as he guessed that if Anthony Perkins had played that scene, "Mother's" silhouette would have been the same shape as Norman's (except for the hair) and probably would have given away the twist ending.

Good info about "Mother's voice," I didn't know that. I watched the film about Hitchcock, played by Anthony Hopkins, if I recall correctly? And the making of Psycho (the name of the film escapes me at the moment), but it's been years, so I don't remember if that was covered in the film. PS. The name of the film was "Hitchcock" (lol), I looked it up, but I knew it was based around the making of _Psycho,_ so it could've been named with a connection to that, right? Ha. ^_^

Fun facts: though this wasn't one of the first films to show a woman in a bra, it WAS one of the first to show the lead woman in a *black lace* bra. Which (stereotypically) is what the bad girls would wear and Janet was playing a good girl... Despite the grand theft. Alfred got away with a lot in this movie. It set a standard for suspense films.

Marion stole the money and left town Friday afternoon. I think the scene at the hardware store where the private detective confronts Sam and Lila takes place, at the earliest, the following Tuesday. That gives the boss all of Monday to discover that the money was never deposited and to get the private detective hot on Marion's trail.

The last Psycho sequel Psycho IV was actually written by the original Psycho screenwriter Joseph Stefano. It shows a lot of how Norman became crazy through a series of flashbacks when Norman calls into a radio talk show when the subject is mother killers. I first saw it on cable on Mother’s Day. Watch Hitchcock’s Rope.

An absolute classic! Yet another example of horror never getting its proper recognition for brilliant performances. Anthony Perkins in Psycho and Toni Collette in Hereditary. Psycho 2 is a great sequel! Please watch it! Other great Hitchcock films are Rope, Strangers on a Train, The Birds, Shadow of a Doubt, Dial M for Murder, The Man Who Knew Too Much, North By Northwest, Lifeboat, Saboteur, and Vertigo. Just to name a few lol

This is fascinating to watch her react to this. The genius of Hitchcock making this film is on display and just the hints come through that keep her guessing. Everything that came after this, the different horror genres, 80's slashers, the supernatural thrillers, etc., all came from this. This is a genius film. It's not made to fit a genre. It is just telling an amazing story and it CREATED those genres. This is filmmaking 101. Hitchcock anything is. Shot choices, editing, acting, my goodness there isn't a moment here that isn't fantastic.

The Sam Loomis character was actor John Gavin. It just dawned on me that for a short time in I think the late 1960s or early 1970s he was a spokesman for Bank of America and would briefly appear in their television commercials. That is my recollection only. But I remember him briefly in those old commercials dressed just like the character in a fine suit of course as "Sam Loomis."

Psycho was based on Ed Gein. He Killed People and was a Grave Robber. When the Police was investigating a Missing Person, they came upon Ed's House of Horror. He had Body parts all over, even Using Human Skulls as Soup Bowls. The Missing Woman was Found Hung up by her Ankles like a deer for Processing, Split Down the Front and Missing her Head. THE WORSE PART was Ed had made a "Woman Suit" from Female bodies, Which he Wore at night. This was the Basis for Other Horror Movies, including "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" as well as "Silence of the Lambs".

The 2 notes in Jaws, 3 notes in Halloween, Psycho's shrieking violin assault. Primal minimalist perfection. I loved the b&w look, as a child I guess I thought that's how the world used to look until color was....invented.? We're so used to all these tricks and dark themes, can't imagine seeing this in the Eisenhower days. "Oh my!" Leaving the theater with your hair turned white sticking straight in the air.

One fun fact, Anthony Perkins isn't even in the shower scene. He has prior commitments in New York to do a play, so a stand in is the one that enters the bathroom and rips open the curtain.....There was also an 80's TV movie called Bate's Motel that was a pilot for an anthology series, it wasn't picked up.
