Pre-order: Zavvi

Alfred Hitchcock’s landmark masterpiece of the macabre stars Anthony Perkins as the troubled Norman Bates, whose old dark house and adjoining motel are not the place to spend a quiet evening. No one knows that better than Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), the ill-fated traveller whose journey ends in the notorious “shower scene.” First a private detective, then Marion’s sister (Vera Miles) searches for her, the horror and the suspense mount to a terrifying climax where the mysterious killer is fi nally revealed. It took seven days to shoot the shower scene, seventy camera setups and forty-fi ve seconds of this now famous footage – and not an actual bare breast or plunging knife is to be found in the fi nal cut, just illusion through montage.
