This film is one Hitchcock that I don't re-watch.<br /><br />$15,000 wouldn't cover the rental for the temporary job office trailer now.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-77851850750435316402020-02-06T00:02:47.767-08:002020-02-06T00:02:47.767-08:00Thanks Stefano!

At one point they cut to the Psycho house, and a bunch of dancers done up as the old Universal Monsters came running out the front door to do a number.

It was repurposed from sets already on the lot, including the house for "Harvey", a more amiable look at insanity. The Psycho house cost all of $15,000.00 -- the most expensive set in the picture. Despite its familiarity, it was well used as a location over the years, never more so than the 1965 Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode "An Unlocked Window", which builds to a breathtaking peak of terrifying frenzy.Stefanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272565584453671850noreply@blogger.com
