A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection - in 4k UHD Blu-ray (3 Viewers)

Here’s a primer of interest that might place everyone deeper into Janet Leigh’s driver seat, when next viewing “Psycho”.

By today’s dollar, $40,000 in 1960 is equal to $351,729.

Buying a Trade-In car with cash?

By today’s dollar, $700 in 1960 is equal to $6,155.

Once researching this fact, my viewing tensions
had become renewed and my immense appreciations for the Bernard Herrmann score had further increased within its urgent and high-stakes feel.

I don't think it was the money in the car scene, but her odd behavior that would have made me refuse to deal with her. $6k isn't a huge amount of cash to have on hand even today. But the fact that she was in such a hurry, and was basically willing to buy the car nearly sight-unseen with no test drive, inspection, or anything, would have raised major red flags. I would not have dealt with her.

Still not nearly enough money to be able to disappear and live off for the rest of your life.

Of those I’ve encountered, the typical car salesman would still close the deal; red flags or not.

Still not nearly enough money to be able to disappear and live off for the rest of your life.

You apparently don’t clip coupons.

Last night I streamed The Birds in 4K/HDR, and I agree with others that this is the best it has ever looked. I was particularly impressed with how much more seamlessly live action and rear projection have been blended in this transfer, particularly in the process shots where Tippi is trapped in the phone booth and we see in the background various actions and activities.

I watched the digital version recently and I 100% agree with you.

I will watch the other 3 titles soon.

Well, it was more than enough for the rest of Marion's life.

 

[Colin Jacobson]

Still not nearly enough money to be able to disappear and live off for the rest of your life.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think Marion believed she'd live forever just on that money.

I think she figured the money would be enough for her and Sam to run away and start fresh somewhere. They could use the cash to seed this move and create new identities in a place where they'd get jobs under those assumed names...

Amazon currently has a $10.66 coupon for this set bringing the cost down to $39 and change. At that price I bought it.

See on Amazon

I would too, but the coupon isn't showing for me.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

Me, either.

 

[Robert Harris]

Doesn’t seem to be there today. I picked up a copy yesterday.

 

[Malcolm R]

I was able to use the coupon yesterday afternoon, plus had another $5 Prime credit, so that got it down under $35.

 

[bujaki]

Doesn’t seem to be there today. I picked up a copy yesterday.

So did I. Now to get the corrected corrected Psycho disc.

 

[haineshisway]

Well, here's something: THIS time Universal got back to me - my sixth attempt - saying I'd get a corrected disc in two to four weeks.

 

[JohnMor]

Well, here's something: THIS time Universal got back to me - my sixth attempt - saying I'd get a corrected disc in two to four weeks.

Which would have been this week if they had responded to you timely the first 5 times. Maybe even last week.

 

[Malcolm R]

Has anyone actually received a correct replacement? I'm not sure they even exist yet.

 

[Nelson Au]

Mr. Robert Harris has to buy his own copy too?

 

[Nelson Au]

I still have not requested a corrected disc yet. I hope one of you guys gets the corrected disc, and soon.

 

[Robert Harris]

Mr. Robert Harris has to buy his own copy too?

I received one copy, as early on, they were in short supply. I purchased a second for my son. I don’t mind supporting the studio’s efforts.

 

[KMR]

Well, it was more than enough for the rest of Marion's life.

Hey, spoilers, dude!
