Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of PsychoThirty years after its creation, Psycho ramains the yardstick by whicy all other thrillers are measured. Stephen Rebello gives readers an intimate glance at the making of this incredible movie from beginning (the true life crime on which Psycho is based) to end (Hitchcock's obsessive instructions to darken theaters and close the curtains for 30 seconds after the opening credits, in order to raise the suspense). 16 pages of photographs.
