This is good. Thanks.

Camera oprating is yet another under appreciated art form.
Too many people assume that the camera operator and cinematographer are the same thing...

Trivia for Psycho: Beyond the film's controversial potrayal of violence and perverse sexuality it was also the first (major Hollywood) film to show a toilet being flushed...

Nothing to add to the thread... just wanted to say that P_B's handle gave me a mental image that made me snort out loud at work...

Fantastic reading, thanks very much. Particularly enjoyed reading about Hitch's ripping off of Clouzot's Les Diaboliques marketing campaign for Psycho, which I didn't know about ...

Always happy to read more about Hitchcock.

Len, that entire book about the making of Psycho is interesting. I picked it up used last year after reading that same excerpt.
