Ovation`s post on a Hitchcock classic reminded me of this movie on Hitchcock so I watched it last night.
This partial bio stars Anthony Hopkins as Hitch and Helen Mirren as his wife . It is based on a book that dealt with the making of Psycho. Also stars Scarlett Johnasson as Janet Leigh and Jessica Biel as Vera Miles. During the making of Psycho, a rift developed between Hitch and his wife who apparently always worked together on his film projects, and he appears to have suffered a melt down. The film also suggests that Hitch was a bit psycho himself. I don`t know about that, but his obsession with his blonde headed leading ladies is well documented and that was touched on here. I found the movie interesting but felt the makeup to make Hopkins look like Hitchcock was a bit on the macabre side. Perhaps this was done on purpose, I don`t know. Overall, it was okay but I`m not sure it was an accurate portrait of Hitch at that particular point in his life.
