But no woman was there and I don't believe in ghosts
I realize it would be funnier if I saw Psycho (1960) twice in one day and then got nervous of showers, but I am afraid I came out of the shower just fine and talking about Psycho II (1983) and III (1986)—sorry, Hitch. My early birthday present actually totaled seven hours of Anthony Perkins: I sat through the triple feature and then stayed for the evening re-run of Psycho. It was like a miniature marathon. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
teenybuffalo came for the evening show. spatch dropped by II on his break. The streets when I went outside between the first two movies were filled with HONK! and I count myself lucky that I managed to purchase a macaroon from the Diesel, because any place that sold actual food (or, God forbid, ice cream) I wasn't getting near without siege machinery. I didn't manage to eat dinner until eleven o'clock tonight, but I had a wonderful time. Review definitely forthcoming, albeit after I finish some major work. Unrelatedly, I promise, I wish I were in D.C. to see this exhibit on Frances Glessner Lee.

I think that's the sweetest thing I've ever read Hitchcock say about anybody. Nice.
Which is why I was fully on board with the creative decision to make the movie Hitchcock, set during the making of Psycho, all about the Hitchcock marriage!
Fair enough!

One anecdote I've always liked was that since she'd made assistant director before he did, he didn't dare to ask her out until making AD as well, and that he hadn't as much as held her hand when he asked her to come to Germany with him so they could helm their first directed-by-him film together (ah, the silent movie days, when language wasn't a problem), and she said yes for the work chance and adventure as much as anything else.

It's an excellent photo. I don't suppose you have any idea who the guy on the left is?

So really what you're telling me is that in addition to the making-of-Psycho biopic, there needs to be an adorable backstage romance about the young Hitchcock and Reville in Germany.
