The Debute of Psycho!
*The film Psycho was initially considered controversial and received mixed reviews, but audience interest and outstanding box-office returns prompted a major critical re-evaluation. Psycho was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actress for Janet Leigh and Best Director for Hitchcock. Psycho is now considered one of Hitchcock's best films,and is arguably his most famous work.
Why is Psycho considered a Classic?
*With its shocking bursts of violence and provocative sexual explicitness, Psycho tested the strict censorship boundaries of the day as well as audiences' mettle - and it gave Hitchcock the biggest hit of his career. The 45-second shower murder in Psycho is possibly the most famous scene in cinema history.
