Author Topic: PSYCHO edited version Jack Theakston Master Film Handler Posts: 411 From: New York, USA Registered: Sep 2007 posted 09-27-2010 07:26 PM                     The hard matte was a last-minute addition by Hitchcock on request of the censors, who were afraid that some projectionists might think they're funny by racking down to Ms. Leigh's rack.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

But during the shower scene, a black masking appeared at the bottom of the picture, just in medium shots of Janet Leigh. Maybe to hide her bikini or bathing suit. The US print is identical in the above regard. While there are not lights or cameras in the 1.37 frame, if you watch the film at 1.37 you can see a truck driving on a road across from the swamp while the car is sinking. There are a few other things masked out at 1.85, but they escape me at the moment. Nothing bad like North By North West, where you can see the soundstage lights at the bottom of the picture as Cary Grant climbs up the support girder at the Frank Loyd Wright house.  |  IP: Logged
