As others have already reported, the much anticipated uncut, original theatrical release version of PSYCHO in thIs 60th Anniversary Edition blu-ray is introduced with an onscreen announcement that what you are about to see "has been modified from its original version by adding material that was...

Yes, haineshisway, great summary for how it felt to see PSYCHO in its initial run with a full theater audience of people who had no idea what was coming. btw, I am not really a subscriber to the idea that some might conclude that the manipulation techniques employed by Hitchcock in this or his...

If you had been in a packed theater watching the movie in its initial run, there is no doubt you would have felt the difference by how much Hitchcock cutting away from Marion juuust when we thought we were going to see her bare breasts but were denied it produced a huge, memorable reaction in...

I will agree with you that Universal or the included "Making of PSYCHO" documentary filmmakers need to now explain that the clip in the documentary implying incorrectly that Peggy Robertson was talking about Hitchcock editing out the bra removal footage in the peephole scene prior to its...

I'll be interested to see if there is any addendum or clarification in the included "Making of PSYCHO" documentary where it is strongly implied via an incorrect film clip that the portion of the peephole scene where we see Marion shrug off her bra was cut out of the film by Hitchcock before the...
