Producer’s Notes on Psycho (1959)
Producer’s Notes on Psycho October 1959:
-Color looks ugly, make it black and white
-Black faced gas station attendant unnecessary
-Norman Bates shouldn’t wink so much into the camera
-Janet Leigh gets boring around the half-way mark (suggestion: kill her)
-Cut shower scene to under 15 minutes (breast do not need so much lathering)
-Also odd place for Hitchcock(your) walk-on
-Black faced gas station attendant unnecessary motel guest
-Why would Bates mother still be alive if Bates boy killed her? (suggestion: have Bates be his mother, I don’t know how that’s going work but take a shot at it)
-Ending is confusing, have a therapist wrap it up nicely for the audience
