PSYCHO (1960)


CAST:  Janet Leigh, Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin
DIRECTOR:  Alfred Hitchcock

An American classic and probably the best film from the legendary Alfred Hitchcock.  Even 50 years later the shower scene remains one of the iconic Hollywood images.

STORY:  After embezzling money from her boss, Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) goes to a secluded hotel occupied by its disturbed manager, Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), and his mother.  What she discovers is far more terrifying than being caught by her boss.

GAYNESS:  Norman Bates has split personalities in which he crossdresses as his mother to kill.  Bates is portrayed by gay actor, Anthony Perkins, although he wasn't out at the time.
