The Films of Alfred Hitchcock: Psycho

on BBC One London

starring Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin
Tonight's film, directed by the master of suspense, concerns a young woman who steals from her employer so that she can marry her lover. On her way to him, she has a disastrous encounter with a motel owner who is totally dominated by his mother.

The Hitchcock season ends with this further opportunity to see the master's most gripping psychological thriller. Generally criticised when it was shown commercially, the film commanded a huge and appreciative television audience on both occasions when it was shown in 1968.
