Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
In 1960,
Alfred Hitchcock
was already famous as the screen's master of suspense (and perhaps the
best-known film director in the world) when he released
Psycho and
forever changed the shape and tone of the screen thriller. From its first
scene, in which an unmarried couple balances pleasure and guilt in a lunchtime
liaison in a cheap hotel (hardly a common moment in a major studio film in
1960), Psycho
announced that it was taking the audience to places it had never been before,
and on that score what followed would hardly disappoint. Marion Crane (Janet
Leigh) is unhappy in her job at a Phoenix, Arizona real estate office and
frustrated in her romance with hardware store manager Sam Loomis (John
Gavin). One afternoon, Marion is given $40,000 in cash to be deposited in
the bank. Minutes later, impulse has taken over and Marion takes off with the
cash, hoping to leave Phoenix for good and start a new life with her purloined
nest egg. 36 hours later, paranoia and exhaustion have started to set in, and
Marion decides to stop for the night at the Bates Motel, where nervous but
personable innkeeper Norman Bates (Anthony
Perkins) cheerfully mentions that she's the first guest in weeks, before
he regales her with curious stories about his mother. There's hardly a film
fan alive who doesn't know what happens next, but while the shower scene is
justifiably the film's most famous sequence, there are dozens of memorable
bits throughout this film. The first of a handful of sequels followed in 1983,
while Gus Van
Sant's controversial remake, starring
Vince Vaughn
and Anne Heche,
appeared in 1998.
