TenMinJoe says "Re: the mistakes in the 4:3 version - while normally a 4:3 version of a film has *less* of the original picture, some films (including, clearly, this one) are filmed in 4:3 and then the top and bottom sliced off for the widescreen version.

Things like crew visible, microphone cords visible, shadows, missing ceilings - this leads me to believe that a separate version was shot for TV alone.

In the 4:3 TV version of the movie, there are many, many mistakes made in filming that don't appear in the standard movie version.

Psycho has the most "interesting notes" about production and origins than any other movie I've seen.

I recommend seeing this RIGHT NOW if you haven't seen it before, and if you have, you should go buy it. After listening to it, Hitchcock immediately changed his mind without reservation! (Thanks to Erineta for reminding me of the fantabulous music).Īlmost completely devoid of special effects and other graphical supports, this movie is still a thrilling, edge-of-your seat mystery in what I beleive is Hitchcock's best work. It's a little known fact that Hitchcock wanted the shower scene to be silent, but Bernard Herrmann (the composer for the film) went ahead and made the music anyway. The soundtrack is amazingly good, especially for its time - it doesn't sound dated at all, and it sounds quite "different." This is because the entire score is done with only string instruments - and the classic shower scene that everyone associates with those stabbing chords - just awesome. All of the actors did an awesome job, and with a few minor changes and edits, this movie could have easily been released just yesterday. There was a time when acting wasn't "pretending to be a normal person," but "moving in a certain way that is defined as acting," probably stemming from the method of acting used in theatrical productions. One of my biggest qualms with older movies is the odd-looking acting. I had never seen this movie until now, and I always thought I knew what the movie would be about - the big badguy Norman Bates, the Bates Motel, shower murder. My Opinion: This is quite possibly the best pre-1975 movie that I've ever seen (with the exception of Casablanca (1942) - thanks for reminding me, TenMinJoe!).

Due to the recent traumatic events, he is now completely his mother - and Norman himself will never exist again. Sam tackles him and all is well.Īfter a police investigation, we find that Norman had attained a split personality after murdering his mother years ago. Long dead, sitting in the fruit cellar! Just then, Norman bursts through the door sporting a wig and a gown, swinging a knife. Lila sneaks into the house on the hill, and finds Norman's mother. Sam and Lila wonder what's taking Milton so long to return, so they decide to go check it out for themselves - and find nothing but a sketchy Norman who seems rather nervous. Janet's sister Lila Crane, a private detective Milton Arbogast, and Janet's boyfriend Sam all go in search of her, and Milton tracks her down to the Bates Motel, where he is murdered shortly after notifying Sam and Lila. She snuck into her room and stabbed her in the shower - one of the most famous movie scenes of all time. It isn't worth running in fear for the rest of her life! Norman's mother, however, had other plans. Getting a little sleepy on the long drive, she stops off at the infamous Bates Motel, where she meets the odd-mannered proprietor, Norman Bates.Īfter a nice chit-chat with Norman, Janet decides to go back to her boss and admit her crime. Having some money-related relationship problems, Janet decides to swipe the $40K and run off to the next city and surprise her boyfriend, Sam Loomis. Which he pays in cash (For the interested, that's approximately $350,000 in 2003 dollars). A high-roller suave Texan is buying, from her boss, a rather large property costing $40,000. The Plot: Marion Crane works in a real estate office in the city of Phoenix. One sentence plot summary: A woman comes into conflict with her own morals when she suddenly disappears at a motel - and a chilling tale of mystery and murder ensues! This is, however, the first movie to ever show a woman wearing nothing on top but a bra! That's right, bra action in this film! As well, this movie may have the first ever on-screen flushing toilet!!! Porn Cont: Being made in 1960, porn in movies was barely heard of. Spoilers contained in the "plot" section if you don't wish to see them thar spoilers, just skip it!īody Count: Two on-screen deaths and a third previously-killed dead person.
