It's impossible to describe the impact this movie had when it came out in 1960, the year I was born. I heard from my parents that everything about it was shocking. First of all, Janet Leigh, was a huge star at the time, and to kill off the big star only partway through a movie had never happened before. The violence of it was hugely shocking as well although if you notice, you never actually see her being stabbed. This was in the days when Westerns would show a cowboy getting shot and they would just fall down dramatically. No blood or anything. Then, the idea of someone being psychotic was poorly understood. My father told me it terrified audiences and it's the only movie that scared him enough that he had to walk out of the theatre before it ended. It was a different time then, but at over 60 years old, this movie still stands the test of time and it is still used as a metric by many many filmmakers.

Really truly?! Please let Dorothy know how much her father is admired, although I'm sure she knows that already. Bernard Herrmann's music is genius; his music scores are out of this world. Doctoral theses have been written about him, and I've talked to so many musicians and composers about his lasting influence. Famously, the maestro said about "Psycho" that since it is in black and white, he wanted to write "black and white music," which to him, equated to strings only. (No brass, woodwinds, percussion. Hermann was able to notate the strings so that they sounded like those other families of the orchestra-especially that percussive quality.) I'm a composer myself, although not for movies. One litmus test I always think of for film scores is this: "if you took this score away, would it still be the same movie?" And in this case, absolutely not. Bernard Hermann's score is essential to this movie. Take the score away, it's a different film.

This movie was made during the time of the Hays Code. Part of that code demanded that immoral characters needed to be punished and criminals couldn't be shown to get away with their crimes. It's kind of funny and impressive to see how Hitchcock took those restrictive rules and used them to make his movie MORE shocking.

I've watched a lot of movies from the Hays Code era, including Film Noirs and westerns. Yes, usually those types of characters are "required" to get their comeuppance (usually prison or death). However, I've seen a couple of movies where immoral characters got away with it. For example, they never captured the killer in Vertigo who threw his wife off the building. Of course that murder took a backseat in that movie.

Your breakdown about horror/slasher movie rules is interesting because Psycho was both a predecessor and prototype for the slasher genre itself, a huge reason why it feels a lot different from most slashers that succeeded it because of it's shocking narrative structure and the complex character study. I always think of Psycho as an accidental prototype for the modern slasher, then Halloween from 1978 is more of a purposeful slasher that really set up the rules of the genre. But it's still kind of funny how here are basic things in Psycho that have similarities to modern slasher films.

Most cars, even in 1960, had front bench seats that were easy to slide across. When people parked next to a curb, people would often just slide out of the car to the right, ending up on the sidewalk. If approaching from the driver's side, the passenger could enter first and easily slide to the right side of the bench seat. It was kind of a safety issue as well. If you parked on a busy downtown boulevard, as the driver, you could avoid exposing yourself to approaching vehicles coming from the rear if you exited via the passenger side door. Sporty "Bucket seats" allowed American car designers to create center consoles that fit between the seats, thus over time ending the practice of "sliding" over on a bench seat. You can pretty much date movies to by how people get out of their cars.

Interesting bit of trivia about this movie is it was released at a time when it was common for theaters to restart the film shortly after the ending. People often came in well after the movie started and then stayed until it got back to the part where they came in. Hitchcock insisted that theater owners not allow any late arrivals into the theater. At first theater owners were unhappy thinking it would cost them business. They changed their minds when they saw the long lines outside their theaters.

She BATHED him. Washed him in the bath each night. He came into her bed in the mornings and she had a shower while he was there, in her highly visible ensuite. When it was time to get his haircut, she’d drive him for four hours to get to a little salon he liked. And she told my mum WE were strange being so close. She treated her daughter like a second class citizen. We never said a word, it wasn’t our life, but….the mind boggles. On another point l also love the clothes! Weren’t they so ladylike? So feminine and flattering. Classy❤️ Janet Leigh was Jamie Lee Curtis’ mother, a wonderful actress❤️ Lots of love sweetie, happy Saturday!

Not sure how many Hitchcock movies you've seen K, but you can't go wrong with his! Some you should do are, "North By Northwest", "Rear Window", "The Birds", "Rope", "Dial M for Murder" all in color, and great B&Ws "Notorious", "I Confess", "Saboteur", "Strangers on a Train", "Shadow of a Doubt", "Lifeboat", "The 39 Steps", "The Lady Vanishes" and so many more. He was the king of cameos as he appeared in every movie in some form, and twice in at least one I know of (Rope). There are several websites detailing where each of his cameos are located as some are not easy to spot. He was at the beginning of Psycho as the guy in the hat seen thru the office window as Janet Leigh was entering early in the movie. And the woman at 2:22 is Hitchcock's daughter Pat who was in several of his movies and died last August. Another Janet Leigh movie you'll enjoy is "Houdini" (1953 and filmed in color a drama based on the famous illusionist/magician) where she stars with husband Tony Curtis who both would later become parents of Jamie Lee Curtis of "Trading Places" you watched recently. ✌😎

Very sharp observation at the end; someone else may have already confirmed it, but YES...actor Simon Oakland played the psychiatrist at the end of Psycho AND Lieutenant Schrank in West Side Story. A wonderful and distinctive actor. Good call! Also interesting that the excellent actor John McIntyre, who played the sheriff, was married in real life to Jeanette Nolan, a fine actress who was often cast as grannies, witches, etc during this time, and who provided the VOICE of Mrs. Bates in some of the scenes in "Psycho." Hitchcock, in his continual efforts to throw the audience off track, cast TWO different actresses to supply Mrs. Bates off-camera voice. Jeanette Nolan was heard in the first scenes (arguing with Norman "You got the GUTS, boy?"). I'm not sure about the "Ya' think I'm FRUITY?" dialogue, but I believe the OTHER actress, Virginia Gregg did the final scene in the police station. Both Nolan and Gregg were wonderful actresses, and can be seen in many TV drama of the day. UPDATE (5/14/24) I've just re-read Stephen Rebello's great book on the making of Psycho, and Hitchcock had THREE people record Mother's lines (Nolan, Gregg, and a guy named Paul Jasmin, who did a popular Old-lady/Granny comedy routine, which Hitchcock loved; so he took all 3 recordings and cut and spliced them together so that the voice would never be "trace-able" to any one person).

Psycho 2 and 3 are worthy sequels and just as enjoyable, directed and starring Anthony Perkins aka Norman Bates. I was actually surprised at how good they were. I haven't seen the 4th one so can't comment on it.

@ajayjackson7727 2 жыл бұрын

yep Psycho II is a good one because it takes you right back to when Norman was a boy and the truth about what happened to his mother, i havent seen Psycho III or IV yet though

@MLJ7956 2 жыл бұрын

I have seen (and have on HD Blu-Ray) all four of the Psycho films...the 4th film is called Psycho IV: The Beginning (because it acts as both as a sequel and a prequel to the first film - diving more into what makes Norman tick, with Henry Thomas - Elliot from ET, as a young Norman Bates in many of the flashback sequences, who puts in a great performance of a growing troubled young man here...It does largely ignores many of the events from 2 & 3 during much of the film - it doesn't retcon or changes the events of 2 & 3 in any way but it just doesn't talk about or mention many of them sadly...that is probably due to the orginal Psycho 1 screenwriter Joseph Stefano, who also wrote 4, who also wasn't a big fan of 2 & 3). Norman calls into a radio talk show on the subject of matricide (the talk show host is played by CCH Pounder - of ER, NCIS: New Orleans, The Shield, Sons Of Anarchy & Wearhouse 13), to discuss the events of his past and why he feels the need to kill yet again. Anthony Perkins returns once again as Norman (for his final time - as he would sadly pass away two years later from complication with AIDS. RIP 😢). It also features the return of many of composer's Bernard Hermann classic themes in the soundtrack including the infamous shower motif tune. It was directed by veteran horror/fantasy writer/director Mick Garris (*Batteries Not Included, Critters 2: The Main Course, Stephen King's: The Stand, Stephen King's Sleepwalkers, Hocus Pocus, Unbroken as well as episodes of Amazing Stories, Tales From The Crypt, Masters Of Horror & Once Upon A Time). It was never released theatrically/in theaters (at least in the US) but it was a made-for-cable film (for Showtime) and does have high production values like the other theatrical films do. In my opinion, it is much better than the standard made-for-TV movie of the week (which many feel like they are) and it is a fitting conclusion to the movie franchise and last swan song of Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates....And yes, director John Landis (Trading Places, An American Werewolf In London) makes a cameo as the radio station producer. Psycho IV is also worth checking out 😉✌️

I love your reactions (and deductive detective reasonings 😉) here to this classic Hitchcock film (one of my own personal classic suspense thriller/horror films)....I will say also check out many other Hitchcock films such as Rear Window, North By Northwest, The Birds, Frenzy, Vertigo, Dial M For Murder, Strangers On A Train, Shadow Of A Doubt, To Catch A Thief, Rope, The Trouble With Harry, Saboteur, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Lady Vanishes, The 39 Steps, The Wrong Man, I Confess, Lifeboat, Torn Curtain, Marnie and Rebecca (which won an academy award for best best) to name a few more great ones. 😁 Also it is worth checking out the rest of the Psycho films in the movie franchise (all featuring Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates). Psycho II (is a good very underrated sequel), Psycho III (also directed by Perkins) and Psycho IV: The Beginning (a sequel to the previous films and prequel also featuring Henry Thomas, Elliot from ET as a young Norman Bates and award winning actress Olivia Hussey as his mother) are all great in my opinion (and I have them all on HD Blu-Ray in my home movie collection) 🙂... Also the A&E TV series Bates Motel (which acts as a modern soft reboot and prequel to the Psycho films as well) is worth watching too in my opinion. 😎✌️

It's just 5 season with 10 episodes per season, each episode are about 45 minutes. It's a great show, I highly recommend.
