Description

The innovative cinematography, the unsettling musical score, and the most famous twenty-five seconds in motion picture history - the stabbing scene in the shower at the Bates Motel - have established Psycho as an enduring classic that forever links Oscar-nominated Janet Leigh to her role as Marion Crane and Anthony Perkins to his as Norman Bates. Psycho: Behind the Scenes of the Classic Thriller is a paean to a remarkable team of professionals. By putting Janet Leigh's memories and Christopher Nickens's insights to paper and interviewing key players, the authors have given us a rich and personal look at a film like no other before it.
