Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Janet Leigh, Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin
Continuity mistake: When Arbogast reaches the top of the stairs, Mother Bates stabs him in the chest; but when the camera angle changes, the wound is on his face.
Suggested correction: That's blood splatter, not the wound.
Revealing mistake: After Marion has been murdered there is a close-up of her face. If you look down to her neck you can see her pulse.
Norman Bates: She might have fooled me, but she didn't fool my mother.
Trivia: Psycho was the first American movie to show a toilet, and hear one flushing - both viewed as inappropriate in that era.
Question: This is a weird question, but was December 11th 1960 actually on a Friday?
Answer: No, it was a Sunday. However, December 11th fell on a Friday in 1959, the year before release.
Answer: The film was shot in 1959 and released in 1960, so the reference to this date being on Friday would be correct.
