From this thread I suspect I will really enjoy the film, but need to bear in mind it is closer to fiction than fact (?), which is unfortunate given the considerable effort artists seem to have made in making it.

Perhaps it is/will be true in spirit to the real persons (?)...

Finally got around to seeing HITCHCOCK a few days ago. Once you accept the fact that little of it has much relation to the truth I thought it was kind of fun. Maybe it helped that I saw it in Wisconsin, the heart of Ed Gein territory. The guy they got to play Anthony Perkins was great, but I didn't think the stuff with Gein talking to Hitch worked at all. The whole thing might have worked better if they had done it like an episode of the old Hitchcock TV series and just focused on Hitch becoming suspicious that Alma was having an affair (but that probably would have been too "inside" for today's audiences). Still, there were some good bits for those in the know. My favorite line was from the Paramount weasel who, sensing that PSYCHO would be a disaster, commented "Thank goodness we have CinderFella for Christmas."

I was watching UP ALL NIGHT on NBC tonight, when I saw a KOHL'S commercial, and was amazed that the graphics and the music were a take-off of Hitchcock's "PSYCHO".

On a Kohl's commercial? Go figure!

Seriously, the Saul Bass traveling vertical stripes, and the background music was an upbeat twist on Bernard Herrmann's main theme.

Did I mention...this was a Kohl's commercial???

I just saw this on dvd, from the library.

And I rather liked it, for the first 15 minutes. I enjoyed watching Hopkins as Hitchcock, and seeing a bit about how it got pulled together. Then they started goosing up the supporting players' personalities.

Later, I started fastforwarding when it became a truly hoary melodrama.

But I stopped just in time to hear Hitchcock say "...Bernie."

BERNIE??

I think I would have enjoyed this if I knew nothing about Alfred Hitchcock at all.

Diatribe aside, it will be interesting to see

a) How handsome Ralph Macchio will probably still look, even at age 50.
.


Indeed he did!
