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: When Marion is driving her car through the night, she keeps looking at her speedometer. You can clearly see that the gear shift lever is in "park" as she is driving.
Norman Bates: She might have fooled me, but she didn't fool my mother.
Trivia: Psycho was the first American movie to show a toilet, and hear one flushing - both viewed as inappropriate in that era.
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.
