'Psycho' ... ***SPOILER*** Alert


***SPOILER ALERT***

In 'Psycho' Perkins kills the beautiful/sexy women then disposes of the body by pushing her into the water.

In this movie its the beautiful/sexy woman who kills Perkins then disposes of the body by pushing him into the water.

Hmmmmm ....

Good observation. And it's too bad that Hitchcock didn't helm this one as well. Though I thought this film as presented was good enough, I kept thinking that Hitchcock could've made it much better. I wonder if he and Sophia Loren would've gotten along?


Don't mess with me, man! I know karate, judo, ju-jitsu..... and several other Japanese words.

Just watched this for the first time tonight, and liked it a lot. At times it felt like a Hitchcock picture (the leather jacket on the door, the burning cigarette, Bob skulking around inside and outside the apartment). Perkins, while playing a charming creep, is much different than the creepy Norman Bates. Loren is very good too.

I also love titles that are a mystery until a certain moment in the movie reveals what it means.
