Huh, I always heard that Norman Bates didn't kill anybody.
Here's what gets me about this film, what with it being old as fuck and everything -- Anthony Perkins just has this very fey way about him in the beginning of the movie. I am going to go ahead presume that this is how every strapping young man acted in the 1950s. They say Alfred Hitchcock is a genius. To be honest, I didn't see it in this film. But he did manage to make me think for an instant that the 1950s were a better time, as people were more polite to one another and going and having dinner with the foppish dandy of a motel owner was not out of the question. It was the ideal time and place to live, except for of course all the schizophrenic slayings and tar pit dumpings.
