Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous, financially successful and influential film holds a permanent place not only in film history but in cultural consciousness: endlessly invoked, imitated, parodied and appropriated, it remains perfectly, devilishly complete in its brilliantly symmetrical design. Desperate to fund a new life with her boyfriend, Marion Crane steals $40,000 from her boss and flees cross-country, until she makes the fateful decision to take refuge in the isolated Bates Motel, run by a friendly but nervous young man named Norman and his dominating, unseen mother. When a memorable encounter in a shower suddenly jerks the story in another direction, Marion’s sister, her boyfriend and a snooping private detective become embroiled with the increasingly desperate Norman, propelling the film towards its unforgettable conclusion.
This new print features a restored and reconstructed soundtrack.
