Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Janet Leigh, Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin
Norman Bates: A boy's best friend is his mother.
Mother: No! I tell you no! I won't have you bringing some young girl in for supper! By candlelight, I suppose, in the cheap, erotic fashion of young men with cheap, erotic minds!
Norman Bates: Mother, please...!
Norman Bates: She might have fooled me, but she didn't fool my mother.
Norman Bates: She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?
Marion Crane: Yes. Sometimes just one time can be enough.
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.
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.
Answer: No, it was a Sunday. However, December 11th fell on a Friday in 1959, the year before release.
