By the time director Alfred Hitchcock created the film Psycho in 1960, he was a household name synonymous with suspense and thrillers. By that time, he had already directed over 40 other suspense films, most of which were commercially successful. However, when he proposed the script for Psycho, Paramount executives did not want to fund the production, considering it to be too controversial. Hitchcock eventually funded much of the production himself by borrowing the money against his home. Psycho not only changed how movies were made, but it also changed the way movies were shown. Join Jonathan for a viewing of film clips and discussion of the controversies and Hitchcock’s innovative use of editing and sound design.
