It's even more reliable than Francois Truffaut's magisterial interview book Hitchcock, because Rebello interviewed the fat master himself, plus many Psycho insiders less cagey and truth-dodging than he.
At last, thanks to Rebello, we know all about the celebrated shower murder scene and all that swirls around it. Like Ernst Lubitsch, who conveyed the thrill of adultery by having the lovers open a door and cast their shadows on a bed, Hitchcock knew that, in film, artful discretion can be the most shocking effect of all. --Tim Appelo
"Essential...I've learned so much from reading this book." --Gus Van Sant
"Meticulously researched and irresistible...required reading not only for Psycho-philes, but also for anyone interested in the backstage world of movie-creation." --Anthony Perkins
"Rebello talked with virtually every surviving participant in the filmmaking. The result is a book that will inform cineastes and indulge Psychomanes." --The Washington Post Book World
"Meticulous history...helps the reader comprehend the original shock of the film." --The New York Times Book Review
"We are indebted to Stephen Rebello's labor of love. He sweats the details as much as Hitchcock at his most compulsive." --Philadelphia Inquirer
"One of the best accounts of the making of an individual movie we've ever had." --Richard Schickel
