Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Janet Leigh, Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin
Trivia: Alfred Hitchcock makes a cameo during the scene when Marion Crane walks into her office - he is standing outside the office on the right. (00:07:00)
Continuity mistake: When the Highway Patrol Officer hands the driver license back to Marion, in the interior shot he's holding it out with his right hand and Marion takes it with her left hand, but in the next exterior shot he's handing it to her with his left hand and Marion is taking it with her right hand. (00:15:50)
Revealing mistake: After Marion has been murdered there is a close-up of her face. If you look down to her neck you can see her pulse.
Norman Bates: A boy's best friend is his mother.
Trivia: Although it lasts for only 45 seconds on screen, the stabbing scene in the shower took seven days to shoot and used 70 different camera angles.
Question: This is a weird question, but was December 11th 1960 actually on a Friday?
Answer: The film was shot in 1959 and released in 1960, so the reference to this date being on Friday would be correct.
