Hitchcock. L'incredibile storia di Psycho

If you’re one of those salivating film fanatics who watch DVDs with the “Director’s Commentary” turned on, and then afterwards watch all the special features like “The Making of...” and “Deleted Scenes” and “Alternate Endings”... this is your book.

It'd definitely have been a four-star read if I'd read it pre-internet, before so many behind-the-scenes details were posted. I'm sorry Mr. Rebello, life is unfair. p.s. Even so, the book has a few surprises left. Who knew that Anthony Perkins gladly accepted the Norman Bates role because he wanted to Leggi tutto

I am a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock and the film "Psycho." I have read a lot about the making of the film and as such, I went into this book not knowing whether I would learn anything new about the film.

If you like Hollywood history and backstage goings-on, I think you would enjoy this telling of the creation of one of the iconic films of the last centur

I really enjoyed the original movie Pyscho and then this film The Making of Pyscho starring Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren, so much so I wanted the tie in book to it. It reads like the film but obviously in more detail and is a great insight into Holllywood. I enjoyed it and would recommend.

The screaming blonde in the shower, the creepy hotel, the guy who keeps his mummified mom in the old family home... everybody knows about "Psycho," if only by cultural osmosis.
