Psycho: Behind the Scenes of the Classic Thriller

Janet Leigh

4.9/5 (13077 ratings)

Description:On the long-awaited day when Janet Leigh met Alfred Hitchcock at his home in Beverly Hills to discuss the filming of Psycho, he said to her, "I hired you because you are a talented actress. You are free to do whatever you with with the role of Marion. I won't interfere unless you are having trouble and require my guidance. Or if you are taking too big a slice of my pie (overacting) or you are not taking enough of a slice of my pie. But there is a rule on the set - my camera is absolute. I tell the story through that lens, so I need you to move when my camera moves, stop when my camera stops. I'm confident you'll be able to justify the motion. Should you have difficulty, however, I will be happy to work with you. But I will not change the timing of my camera."What followed, of course, was one of the extraordinary events in filmmaking history, a movie that astounded audiences around the world and continues to be - thirty-five years later - one of the most popular films of all time. 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 Nicken'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.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
