Synopsis Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO contains what is arguably the most famous sequence in all of cinematic history--that chilling scene in which a lovely Janet Leigh is stabbed to death as she showers. Hitchcock is an acknowledged master of cinematic form, and the whole of PSYCHO is exemplary of his structural brilliance. Though much scholarly analysis has been devoted to the film, Stephen Rebello's book narrates the behind-the-scenes story of the production in a way that reads more like a gripping novel than detached intellectualism. Through in-depth interviews with the cast, crew, and the man himself, Rebello takes readers through the entire construction of this masterpiece, from the original story on which it was based to the reactions of the audience upon its completion.
