Description

Psycho (Paramount, 1960). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Iconic master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, created this legendary thriller that introduced audiences to a whole new dimension of fear, and left an indelible mark on the thriller genre. Anthony Perkins is superb as the nervous, meek, innkeeper Norman Bates who's been psychologically damaged by a domineering mother. The deranged Bates commits a series of gruesome murders at the urging of his dead mother, with pretty Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), on the lamb after stealing from her boss, being one of his victims, in what would become one of the most chilling horror scenes in all of cinematic history. No other film has packed as much suspense, horror and psychological obsession as this one, and is considered the definitive Hitchcock picture. This dynamic three sheet has been linen backed, but not restored, with the only issues being light fold wear, a very small chip on the left border, and a Dutch censor stamp in the lower right corner. Very Fine- on Linen.
