Psycho follows Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), a real estate secretary that decides to steal $40,000 from her boss perhaps to escape her own private trap, or is she stepping into a new one?

Stefano was a new kid on the block and Hitch disliked working with new writers, so Stefano knew he had to sell Hitch on his story treatment.

I will never know but what it doesn't change is what I sacrilegiously find to be the best scene in the film, the dinner between Marion and Norman.

Alfred Hitchcock's film does a nice exploration of the paranoia behind identity crisis and taking on another's appearance; when Norman Bates dresses as his mother, it's like watching a different character.

My recent viewing of the film Hitchcock motivated me to finally sit and down and watch the master's 1960 masterpiece Psycho, the groundbreaking psychological thriller/murder mystery that completely re-defined the career of the amazing Alfred Hitchcock, crowning him the King of Cinematic Suspense.

I watched this film with my wife, she had no idea what the twist in the film would be and fell for it hook line and sinker.

Psycho is about a woman named Marion Crane, who steals $40,000 and runs away from home, and on her way, she decides to stop at the Bates Motel.

Being a massive fan of Alfred Hitchcock and his work in such films as "Vertigo" and "North by Northwest" it was only a matter of time before I finally got around to watching Psycho.

The hightlight of the film is Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates.

Visuals : The Bates Motel really comes to life , although it actually is a movie set - I thought it was on location filming.
