Rushmore, was screened in theaters around the country.<\/p>\n<p>On HBO, we\u2019ve had the new biopic The Girl, a disturbing look at the obsessive side of the filmmaker (Toby Jones) in regard to his working and personal relationships with Tippi Hedren (Sienna Miller), who he directed in The Birds and Marnie. Hitch\u2019s creepy dark side is revealed in disquieting detail.<\/p>\n<p>And now we have the story of Hitch and the making of the 1960 classic <a title=\"Psycho\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D20948&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Psycho<\/a> examined in two different media. Published originally in 1990, Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, written by Stephen Rebello, is being reissued in both book and ebook form. Hitchcock, the film starring <a title=\"Anthony Hopkins \" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor_smart.asp?search=Anthony+Hopkins+\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Anthony Hopkins <\/a>as the director and <a title=\"Helen Mirren \" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor_smart.asp?search=Helen+Mirren+\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Helen Mirren <\/a>as wife Alma Reville, sees the theatrical light of day over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Like Rebello\u2019s informative, entertaining book, Hitchcock is an enormously enjoyable excursion behind-the-scenes at Hollywood, circa the late \u201850s\/early \u201860s.\u00a0 It details Hitch\u2019s experiences developing Psycho for a movie. In Robert Bloch\u2019s book based on the demented exploits of real-life serial killer Ed Gein\u2014who also inspired 1974\u2019s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre\u2014Hitch saw a project to shake up both audiences and the studio establishment, whom he believed considered him too complacent and too old. He was coming off the slick hit North by Northwest, but concerned with the disastrous box-office response to his previous film, Vertigo.<\/p>\n<p>As the book and film chronicle, Hitchcock\u2014who had the successful and lucrative anthology Alfred Hitchcock Presents running weekly on TV at the time\u2014was facing his mortality and desired to go radically against expectations. So, this story\u2014about a murderous hotel keeper (<a title=\"Anthony Perkins\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor_smart.asp?search=Anthony+Perkins\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Anthony Perkins<\/a>, as played by James D\u2019Arcy) who dresses like a woman; a criminal leading character (<a title=\"Janet Leigh\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor_smart.asp?search=Janet+Leigh\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Janet Leigh<\/a>, as played by Scarlett Johansson) killed early in the film; and a shower stabbing sequence so harrowing it terrified audiences from the get-go, and continues to do so today\u2014was Hitch\u2019s ticket to making a big statement.<\/p>\n<p>Rebello\u2019s book focuses on the behind-the-scene intrigue and shooting of the film. There certainly is no shortage of war stories, and the author does impeccable research here. We learn how Paramount feared backing the film because of its gruesomeness, and how the director had to put his own cash in to finance it, as well as take a deferred directing sum from profits.<\/p>\n<p>There are anecdotes about the hiring of young writer Joseph Stefano for the job, and how Hitch insisted on using his TV show crew to shoot things efficiently and on the cheap. Likewise, there are juicy tales of casting, studio politics and the film\u2019s marketing and eventual impact.<\/p>\n<p>Hitchcock, the feature directed by\u00a0 Sacha Gervasi (Anvil: The Story of Anvil) and adapted by John J. McLaughlin (Black Swan), expertly dramatizes Rebello\u2019s prose and adds an extra layer to the Psycho saga by adding the uneasy relationship between Hitchcock and his wife Alma Reville to the stew. The director is viewed as a voyeur who was jealous of his wife\u2019s relationship with Whitfield Cook (Danny Huston), the self-absorbed writer who worked on the screenplays for his films Stage Fright and <a title=\"Strangers on a Train\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D61528&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Strangers on a Train<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The talented Alma is portrayed as her husband\u2019s closest confidante, who played a large part in his career but lived largely under her famous spouse\u2019s broad shadow. Their close but sometimes tenuous bond certainly didn\u2019t stop his desire for perverse Peeping Tom antics and questionable treatment of women. The film exemplifies this in depicting his relationship with Psycho co-star <a title=\"Vera Miles \" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor_smart.asp?search=Vera+Miles+\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vera Miles <\/a>(Jessica Biehl), a Hitchcock contract player, who was shoddily treated by the director after she put aside her burgeoning career\u2014and a chance to play the lead in Vertigo\u2014to have a child.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30392\" style=\"width: 440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/psycho-babble-we-talk-about-hitchcock\/vera-miles\/#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-30392\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30392\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30392\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Vera-Miles.jpg\" alt=\"Vera Miles in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960)\" width=\"430\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Vera-Miles.jpg 430w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Vera-Miles-300x147.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-30392\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vera Miles in Alfred Hitchcock&#8217;s Psycho (1960)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Hitchcock gets the period details just right, while the cast is uniformly terrific. The star of The Girl, 46-year-old Toby Jones (who also played Truman Capote in \u00a0<a title=\"Notorious\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D00616&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Notorious<\/a> and Karl Rove in <a title=\"W\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D80322&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">W<\/a>) may bear a stronger resemblance to the director, but \u00a0the 75-year-old Hopkins\u2019 mannerisms, voice and dark charm pull you in and make you a believer. Mirren, too, is superb; she doesn\u2019t look at all like the short, squat Alma, but she\u2019s spot-on displaying the character\u2019s insecurities as well as her inner strength. Kudos also to Michael Stuhlberg as Lew Wasserman, then the director\u2019s agent; Kurtwood Smith as the head motion picture censor; and Toni Collette as the helmer\u2019s longtime trusted secretary.<\/p>\n<p>Over fifty years since its release, Psycho still has a grip on its audience. It has been continually studied, written about, discussed, revered and, yes, spoofed.<\/p>\n<p>In polls conducted by the American Film Institute, it landed first in the \u201c100 Years\u2026100 Thrills\u201d survey, and was chosen eighteenth on the \u201c100 Greatest Movies List.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All this from a movie in which Norman Bates, the mild-mannered lead character, \u201cwouldn\u2019t hurt a fly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is so much more to read about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/tag\/alfred-hitchcock\/page\/2\/\">Master of Suspense<\/a>&#8230; take a peek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho: A look at the book about the making of the 1960  physiological thriller Psycho written by Stephen Rebello.
