What you are seeing in this film is the early days of the "Multiple Personality Disorder" hysteria that ran rampant through the USA during the latter 1950s, throughout the 1960s and that peaked in the 1970s with the book (1973) and made-for-TV film (1976) "Sybil." The bottom fell out on the MPD craze when it was discovered that the therapist and Sybil had largely faked the whole thing. Oh, she was mentally ill alright, schizophrenic, but that is when all schizophrenia was tainted with so-called multiple personality disorder. Psychiatrists went nuts! "Sybil had 16 personalities? Well, my patient has 24!" And on and on... until: "64 distinct personalities." All nonsense. Hysteria. And a lot of people who needed help were drugged and mis-treated for their illnesses. You saw at the end of "Psycho" the man explains, pointing his finger, pacing around: "..but in reality, it was his MOTHER who..." blah, blah, blah. People ate that stuff up by the bucket! But by the 1980s that embarrassing and damaging phase of fad psychology was over and relegated to Robin Williams punchlines, and even as recent as 2000 with the film: "Me, Myself and Irene," (funny as heck, you got to watch). Today? They now have transgenderism. Same thing: a craze that started in the 1950s. "Not 2 sexes, but 3... intersex." Then "There are 4 genders, don't forget about neutral," says another expert in some article he's promoting for the magazine "Psychology Today." Then 12...24... and yep! 64 distinct genders." It is EXACTLY same game that's being played and targeted to vulnerable children and teens. Human beings: The more we change, the more we stay the same. God bless the children.

Anthony Perkins was chosen because of his "boy next door" persona in earlier movies. Ironically, after this movie, he had a bit of trouble finding work because he was so associated with this role. He actually wasn't even present for the shower scene. He was acting in a Broadway play at the time and a body double was used. Although he later married a woman, it's generally acknowledged that Perkins was a closeted gay man. He later died of AIDS in 1990. His widow later died on one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center on 9/11. Their son Oz Perkins later became an actor and filmmaker. You might've seen him as Reese Witherspoon's tall classmate in "Legally Blonde".

"She needs ME. It's not as if she were a maniac, a raving thing. She just goes - a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?" "Yes. Sometimes just one time can be enough." Fun Fact: This was the highest-grossing movie of Sir Alfred Hitchcock's career. Music Enthusiast Fact: The score is played entirely by stringed instruments. Director Sir Alfred Hitchcock was so pleased with the score written by Bernard Herrmann that he doubled the composer's salary. Up Close And Personal Fact: In order to implicate viewers as fellow voyeurs, Sir Alfred Hitchcock used a 50 mm lens on his 35 mm camera. This gives the closest approximation to the human vision. In the scenes where Norman (Anthony Perkins) is spying on Marion (Janet Leigh), this effect is felt. Subtle Visual Cues Fact: In the opening scene, Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) is wearing a white bra and has a white purse because Sir Alfred Hitchcock wanted to show her as being angelic. After she has taken the money, the following scene has her in a black bra and black purse because now she has done something wrong and evil.

Hitch made this film on a shoestring budget, using the crew and sets from his TV series. It turned a big profit. Killing off the original protagonist (Oscar-nominated Janet Leigh) so early on was a mind-blower at the time. Love to see and hear your reaction to Hitchcock's marvelous "Rear Window" (1954) and its remarkable (color) production design and engaging suspense. It's also amusing at times in classic Hitchcock fashion.

Hitchcock's little macabre touches of humor made audiences love him.

Anthony Perkins did such an incredible job as Norman. He also plays a "disrurbed" individual in a great movie called "Pretty Poison", co-starring the beautiful Tuesday Weld. It's an underappreciated film, but it does have a cult following. Well worth a watch.

My parents were newlyweds in 1960 and went on a double date with my mother's brother and his girlfriend . . . to see the new movie "Psycho" at the Drive-In Theater in Phoenix, AZ. At the point where Normie's mommy is revealed it shocked my dad so much that he accidently ripped the armrest off the door of my uncle's mid 1950s Ford sedan car. The two guys fixed it later that weekend. Also, $40K for a house in 1960 was a NICE house. The average price of a 2 or 3 bed and 1 bath modest but nice house was more like $5-10K. Fascinating psych story in this movie. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting fact- Anthony Perkins ( Norman) was on the other side of the country ( NY)- when Hitchcock filmed the shower scene - Perkins says this when on Johnny Carson youtube 🔪🔪🔪

Other great black and white masterpieces are: To Kill a Mockingbird Paper Moon Oh, and by the way, congrats on watching your first Hitchcock.

Janet Leigh was a huge star. She and her daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, are the only mother/daughter scream queens in iconic horror films. Tony Perkins was known for playing lovable, sweet young boys in romcoms. This movie was seismic change in horror films, and hugely influential in birthing so many tropes. The parlor scene is filled with hidden meanings - watch it again knowing what you know now. Even her name, Crane - a crane is a bird, and she's surrounded by dead birds. $40,000 then is about $400,000 in today's money. The sequel was made 22 years later and is well worth your time.

The $40,000 that the amiable drunk paid for the house was equivalent to around $450,000 today. Pretty damn nice house. Anthony Perkins was in the movie On the Beach the year before Psycho. It's about the aftermath of a nuclear world war. Perkins plays a naval officer - a gentle young man who has his hands full with his assignments, his baby daughter, and his wife who can't handle the fact that the human race is doomed. The movie was in black-and-white. Another black-and-white movie of the same year was Anatomy of a Murder, set in Upper Michigan (and filmed on location), with James Stewart as a criminal-defense lawyer.

"I thought you were so underfed," she replies. Gregory Peck, Ava Gardiner and Fred Astaire are among the others in this sad, strange movie.

Psycho II, although few who haven't seen it believe this, is a worthy sequel to this film that I think Hitchcock himself would have approved of (had he not passed away 3 years before it was made). Spookily, they also inserted a cameo from Hitchcock in Psycho II, which you'll likely miss. You cut right past his cameo in this film, he was stood outside the office when Marion arrived at work. Please do Psycho II at some point, you won't regret it.

The dramatic music action! 😂🤓🇬🇧

If you are going to watch more Hitchcock movies, here are 2 fun facts: 1. You probably already know that he made a cameo appearance in every one of his movies. Part of the fun is trying to guess where he will appear. 2. Hitchcock's idea of suspense was to let the audience know something that the characters don't know. In Psycho the audience knows that the detective was murdered by the mother in the house, but Marion's sister did not know this. And so when we the audience see Marion's sister in the house, we yell out to her: "Don't go there!" or "Get out of there!", and it drives us crazy because we don't know what's going to happen.

Thanks for the Bible verse! A $40,000 house was a real luxury in 1960. My mom bought a house in 1962 for $12K. 3:40 Lots of people don't notice Marion's expressions change while she's driving, but you did! Always liked the crooked smile when she thought she was getting away with the crime😏. 8:00 Yeah, Norman got experience in an institution, a madhouse. 8:47 The shower scene still makes me flinch some. 11:02 If you like Martin Balsam's (Juror #1, Arbogast), acting, watch him as a thief who's rolling in money in The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three" from 1974.

If you think YOU ain't seen nothing like that in your life, imagine how it came across in 1960!

Can’t even imagine, back in 1960, what went through the audience’s mind when they saw the shower scene and when it was revealed Norman, dressed up like his mother, was doing the killings. That was a much more innocent time.

I would add North by Northwest to that list, you’ll get a good sense of Hitchcock. Keep going!

I remember showing this film to my young nephew years ago. He dismissed it at first because it was in b&w, but quickly became mesmerized by it. When it was over, he was like "What a great movie!" Of course I had to laugh at this. Many, if not all, of Hitchcock's films were experiments in filmmaking in one way or another. In "Psycho," the killing of Marion, the protagonist, disorients the viewer by eliminating someone the film spent some time investing itself in, disrupting the classical model of narration. The film sustains its momentum by transitioning the viewers' interest to Norman before settling on Lila and Sam. The thematic elements present in Psycho are classic Hitchcock cinema: psychotic behavior, voyeurism and mother figure/motherhood. These themes are also explored in Hitchcock's Rear Window, Notorious, Vertigo and Shadow of a Doubt. Indeed, "Shadow of a Doubt" may be regarded as an early "Psycho" precursor. In "Psycho" these themes are explored in greater depth. Hitchcock's studio, Paramount, refused to fund "Psycho" because it had no faith in the source material. So, the film was an experiment in its production. "Psycho" is based on a 1959 novel by Robert Bloch of the same name. Today, both the novel and the film are considered masterpieces of the horror genre. Paramount also would not agree to distribute the film without major concessions from Hitchcock. These included Hitchcock personally financing the project himself while foregoing his usual director’s fee. For his part, Hitchcock retained 60% ownership of the film. Hitchcock mortgaged his own house to finance the film and shot it using his tv crew. Hitchcock had a popular weekly tv anthology series at the time. Clearly, he had a lot of confidence in his tv crew. This low-budget film quickly made millions and made Hitchcock a lot of money. The music for "Psycho" was by Bernard Herrmann, regarded as one of the greatest composers for film. Because the film was low-budget, Herrmann scored it for strings only as opposed to full orchestra. So, the effect in tone-color is also rather b&w. I think if you look at the score, say, of the shower scene, the notes resemble a slash! The dialogue in the film is also fantastic. I love how when Marion is eating, Norman drops a hint that his mother is like his stuffed birds. "She's as harmless as one of those stuffed birds." Marion's last name is "Crane," like a bird. This film is chock-full of all sorts of allusions and symbolism. Circa 1960, just about every car had bench seats. The gear shift was on the steering wheel column so that wouldn't have hindered you. Most cars were manual transmission, too, and without power steering or aircon. Also, by this time, seats were primarily vinyl and fairly slippery. So, it was especially easy to slide across them. The ignition, lights, and wiper knobs were on the dash. It was no problem to just slide across and exit the car on the other side if you wanted to. It could also be safer, if you were parking on the street. You could slide across and get out curbside instead of in the street. Or even because it was quicker to get where you wanted to go rather than walk around the car. Maybe the ground was muddy, too. Lots of reasons to do this. Ah, the younger generation. They don't know so much. They should go to old car shows and check out these beautiful old cars. By the way, if there's ever an EMP, I believe these old cars would still work, the new ones for sure wouldn't. Oh, by the way, that $40,000 would today be over $400,000. So not chump-change.

And much of Hitchcock's influence in today's movies comes from his first experiences directing silent films in the 1920's, where he learned to tell the plot story by visual means only, as he does here in Marion's bedroom at home, Norman cleaning up Cabin #1 and Lila searching the Bates' house.

They used to have a Hitchcock building at Universal Studios Florida where you would watch part of "The Birds" in 3D! Also, they had an amazing set for Psycho and they reenacted the shower scene! They also revealed that back then they used Hershey's Chocolate Syrup for the blood in the tub as it looked the most realistic in black and white!

The genius of Hitchcock is that he transfers the person you identify with from Marion to Norman in one shot -- when the car STOPS descending into the swamp...momentarily.

This movie is a gem!!! Thanks for a great reaction.

They made a show called Bates Motel a few years ago. It's a show about before mother died. It's awesome! Definitely worth the watch!

Great reaction. Two fun facts, if no one else has mentioned them: 1. The character Norman Bates is based on the serial killer Ed Gein. 2. Hitchcock made a deal with theater owners that no one who came late would be allowed to watch the movie.

Psycho II is a direct sequel made with some of the same crew. It also stars Vera Miles in the same role.

So fun fact: Psycho, the book this movie is adapting, the character of Norman Bates, and certain story details were inspired by the mind and crimes of serial killer Ed Gein. Gein got infamous after he dug up corpses from local graveyards and fashioned keepsakes from their bones and skin. As well as killing two women and being suspected in the murders of other missing people. He was also known to have tried making a "woman suit" so he could transorm into his dead mother. Ed Gein famously inspired the creation of Norman Bates from this movie, Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.

Now that you have seen 'Psycho', you should definitely watch the 2012 movie 'Hitchcock' starring Anthony Hopkins as Sir Alfred and his wife Alma played by Helen Mirren. It gives you good insight as to what Hitchcock went through with the studio insofar as the censorship that existed at that time and the making of 'Psycho', which was very much groundbreaking film in the horror/mystery/suspense genre . And it also showed how Alma was very much involved with the creative writing process.

This is Hitchcock's most notorious film but it is not the most typical. The only typical aspect is that it shows his amazing skill at keeping the audience guessing. It seems that none of his movies end up in the direction they set off. There are twists and turns that are almost always entertaining. The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, Rebecca, The Shadow of a Doubt, Lifeboat, Suspicion, Foreign Correspondent (my favourite), and anything from the 1950's are lots of fun.
