Screenplay by John J. The making of Psycho was a watershed event, both in the career of Alfred Hitchcock, and in the history of cinema in general. Instead, director Sacha Gervasi brought us a period biopic, peopled with some of the biggest actors in the world.
My initial reaction to this movie when it came out was mixed at best. I was viewing it with the critical eye of a Hitchcock scholar, focusing too much on the minutiae of details that were altered or invented from whole cloth. Now that some time has passed, I thought it would be worthwhile to revisit it. The movie begins with Alfred Hitchcock at the absolute top of his game.
He is riding high on the success of his recent blockbuster North by Northwest. But he is looking to make a change. He decides on Psycho as his next movie, against the wishes of Paramount Studios, and most of his creative team. He undergoes crises both financial and emotional, and is aided by the love and support of his wife Alma, played brilliantly by Helen Mirren. The role of Hitchcock is played by the one and only Anthony Hopkins. What happens when an inimitable director is portrayed on film by an inimitable actor?
Something has to give. Considering how well known both the voice and visage of Hitchcock are, director Gervasi and Hopkins found a middle ground.
Prosthetic make up gives Hopkins a look that is closer to Hitch, without completely losing his own identity. It is in no way an imitation, nor was it intended to be so. But does this film accurately portray the making of the movie? Absolutely not! For Eve, undercover work is like playing a game, but she's about to encounter other actors who are playing for keeps.
